Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a virus which causes COVID-19. It binds to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors, expressed in key metabolic organs and tissues, including pancreatic beta cells, adipose tissue, the small intestine, and kidneys. This condition has been linked to a variety of additional symptoms, including acute encephalopathy, changes in consciousness, and even gastrointestinal bleeding.
In this study, we have reported a 13-year-old boy, 69 kg, with SARS-COV-2 infection. In this case, multiple systems, including the endocrine, renal, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems, were affected.
It is speculated that different manifestations of COVID-19 can be seen in clinical settings, and practitioners should be more cautious not to miss the chimeric characteristics of COVID-19 infection.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2（SARS-CoV-2）是一种导致 COVID-19 的病毒。它与血管紧张素转换酶 2（ACE2）受体结合，这些受体在包括胰腺β细胞、脂肪组织、小肠和肾脏在内的关键代谢器官和组织中表达。这种情况与多种其他症状有关，包括急性脑病、意识改变，甚至胃肠道出血。
在这项研究中，我们报告了一例 13 岁男孩，69kg，患有 SARS-CoV-2 感染。在这种情况下，包括内分泌、肾脏、肺部、胃肠道和神经系统在内的多个系统受到影响。
推测 COVID-19 在临床环境中可能会出现不同的表现，临床医生应更加谨慎，以免错过 COVID-19 感染的嵌合特征。
