- Abstract
However, an observational study reported that the reduced bacterial diversity was less pronounced in COVID-19 patients compared to patients with H1N1 influenza, although it is not clear if patients were sufficiently matched for illness severity (Supplementary reference). A matched case-cohort study reported higher incidence of ICU-acquired bloodstream infections in COVID-19 vs. non-COVID patients, which were more frequently of unknown source [[13]]. A 6-months follow-up in 1733 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 revealed decreased appetite in 8%, and diarrhea or vomiting in 5% of discharged patients [[5]]. 1 Pathophysiological mechanisms of gastrointestinal dysfunction in critically ill patients with COVID-19 Cytotoxic enterocyte injury Evidence suggests a cytotoxic effect of SARS-CoV-2 on enterocytes.
