Abstract

A novel coronavirus, called as SARS-CoV-2, caused multiple typical and atypical respiratory symptoms with several reported abdominal findings. We have described 2 cases of an unusual presentation of Covid-19. For patient 1, a woman aged 59-year-old had pneumonia and new onset abdominal pain. In patient 2, a 60-year-old man admitted with positive polymerase chain reaction test and abdominal pain from 2 weeks ago. Both lung and abdominal computed tomography (CT) were achieved in a few days. Acute ischemic mesenteritis and other abdominal complications were observed in the CT scan. Bowel necrosis in combination with peritonitis founded by laparotomy. Early diagnosis of abdominal complications in Covid-19 pneumonia can improve patient outcomes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
