- Authors
Emordi, Victor; Lo, Andre; Bisharat, May; Malakounides, Georgina
- Abstract
The article discusses a small case series of 5 children experiencing new-onset bladder and bowel incontinence following COVID-19 infection, highlighting this as a potential hidden morbidity associated with the virus. The cases, involving both urinary and fecal incontinence, prompt a review of literature to explore possible pathophysiological mechanisms, including gastrointestinal tract invasion by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, COVID-19-associated cystitis.
