Abstract: The new coronavirus disease pandemic is defining 2020, with almost 17.5 million infected individuals and 700 thousand deaths up to beginning of August. It is caused by SARS-CoV-2 and the transmission is through the respiratory tract. Those infected may be asymptomatic, present typical symptoms (fever, dry cough and dyspnea), gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain) and viral RNA in stools. The objective of this work was to review the literature related to the prevalence of gast… Show more

“…This is because the use of Senna Makki tea can result in electrolyte imbalance in COVID-19 patients due mainly to a severe diarrhea. (8) It should be noted that diarrhea has been described as one of the COVID-19 symptoms, (9) which may have more negative effects on these patients. Senna Makki can also cause other side effects, including vomiting, stomach discomfort, nausea, cramps, and abdominal pain.…”

“…Case 1 of that series was of a 10-month-old female with intussusception who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 [3] . SARS-COV2 expresses the spike glycoprotein that binds with high affinity to ACE2 to enter host cells [4] . ACE2 is highly expressed in type 2 alveolar cells in lungs and in GIT especially absorptive enterocytes in ileum and colon [4] .…”
