COVID-19 is the disease caused by SARS-COV-2 coronavirus infection (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). Although its most prevalent symptoms are respiratory, there are descriptions of gastrointestinal manifestations in children, but the presentation as an acute abdomen is rare. We report the case of a 6-month-old infant who was admitted with a diagnosis of intestinal obstruction and generalized peritonitis with no apparent cause, in whom a SARS-CoV-2 rt-PCR search was positive. We have not found descriptions of similar cases in the literature so far.
新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）是由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）感染引起的疾病。尽管其最常见的症状是呼吸道症状，但也有关于儿童胃肠道表现的描述，而表现为急腹症的情况较为罕见。我们报告了一例6个月大的婴儿，因诊断为肠梗阻和原因不明的弥漫性腹膜炎入院，其严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2逆转录聚合酶链反应（SARS-CoV-2 rt-PCR）检测呈阳性。迄今为止，我们在文献中尚未发现类似病例的描述。
