The coronavirus infection presents primarily as a respiratory illness, however, extra-pulmonary manifestations are known to occur, including gastrointestinal manifestations. Hereby, we report three cases of the COVID-19 infection who presented with acute-onset abdominal pain during illness. All three patients had respiratory symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 and abdominal symptoms consistent with acute pancreatitis, acute cholecystitis, and acute appendicitis. All three patients improved in terms of acute abdominal pain; however, the overall clinical course, the three illnesses were variable because of differences in underlying organ involment and pathophysiology.
冠状病毒感染主要表现为呼吸系统疾病,然而,已知会出现肺外表现,包括胃肠道表现。在此,我们报告3例新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)感染患者,他们在患病期间出现急性腹痛。所有3例患者均有提示COVID-19的呼吸道症状以及与急性胰腺炎、急性胆囊炎和急性阑尾炎相符的腹部症状。所有3例患者的急性腹痛均有改善;然而,由于潜在器官受累情况和病理生理学的差异,这三种疾病的总体临床病程有所不同。
