Children with SARS-CoV-2 infections that present with gastrointestinal symptoms more frequently have longer hospital stays and more severe outcomes.
A team, led by Andrea Lo Vecchio, MD, PhD, Department of Translational Medical Sciences, Section of Pediatrics, University of Naples Federico II, identified the clinical, radiological, and histopathologic characteristics of pediatric patients with COVID-19 with severe gastrointestinal manifestations to better forecast factors associated with severe outcomes.
