| Core Tip |
Although respiratory transmission and symptoms are still the primary route and expression of Coronavirus disease 2019, the gastrointestinal system could be an alternative or additional way for Coronavirus disease 2019 to be transmitted and manifested, most likely due to the presence of Angiotensin converting enzyme type 2 receptors which are observed throughout its length. The main aim of this article is mainly to focus on the manifestations of the gastrointestinal tract and their pathophysiological background, so that physicians on the one hand, not to underestimate or disregard digestive symptoms due to the small number of patients exhibiting exclusively this symptomatology and, on the other, to have Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 on their mind when the “gastroenteritis” type symptoms predominate. |
