- Abstract
The novel coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) that causes coronavirus disease 2019 was discovered in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has rapidly spread across the world becoming a pandemic and disrupting societies, economies, and public health. Digestive symptoms and gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations are increasingly being reported in patients with the virus. There is also a growing body of evidence to suggest that liver injury is frequent. We present a patient diagnosed with coronavirus who presented with several days of GI symptoms and discuss the relevance of GI disease and liver injury in these patients.
