“…Peritoneal lesions associated with SARS CoV-2 were previously suspected in patients [18][19][20]. Recently, the transplacental transmission of SARS-CoV-2 was reported [21,22] and a classification of the COVID-19 infection in pregnant women, foetuses and newborns was suggested [23].…”

“…In December 2019, first cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) due to a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) were reported from Wuhan in China. Soon after, the disease, subsequently named "the 2019 novel coronavirus disease" (COVID- 19) and declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO) [1], has resulted in over 18.9 million confirmed cases and more than 709, 000 deaths worldwide [2].…”

Introduction Vertical transmission of covid-19 is possible; its risk factors are worth researching. The placental changes found in pregnant women have a definite impact on the foetus. Case presentation We report a case of a 25-year-old woman, gravida 3, para 2 (2 alive children), with a history of two caesarean deliveries, who was infected by the SARS-CoV-2 during the last term of her pregnancy. She gave birth by caesarean at 34 weeks of gestation to a newborn baby also infected with SARS-CoV-2. The peri-operative observations noted several eruptive lesions in the pelvis, bleeding on contact. Microscopic examination of the foetal appendages revealed thrombotic vasculopathy in the placenta and in the umbilical cord vessels. Conclusion This case is one of the first documented cases of COVID-19 in pregnancy in sub-Saharan Africa. We strongly suggest obstetricians to carefully examine the aspect of the peritoneum, viscera and foetal appendages in affected pregnant women.

Introduction: Vertical transmission of covid-19 is possible; its risk factors are worth researching. The placental changes found in pregnant women have a definite impact on the foetus.Case presentation: We report a case of a 25-year-old woman, gravida 3, para 2 (2 alive children), with a history of two caesarean deliveries, who was infected by the SARS-Cov-2 during the last term of her pregnancy. She gave birth by caesarean after 34 weeks of gestation to a new-born baby also infected with SARS-Cov-2. The per-operative observations noted several eruptive lesions in the pelvis, bleeding on contact. Microscopic examination of the foetal appendages revealed thrombotic vasculopathy in the placenta and in the umbilical cord vessels.Conclusion: This case is one of the first documented cases of COVID-19 in pregnancy in sub-Saharan Africa. We strongly suggest obstetricians to carefully examine the aspect of the peritoneum, viscera and foetal appendages in affected pregnant women.

“…Therefore, we suggest that a further negative nucleic acid result on an anal swab or feces test is needed before a patient is discharged from the hospital, rather than the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms. In some cases, COVID-19 patients may also present with atypical symptoms such as acute abdomen [22,23], and it remains unclear whether COVID-19 could spread via the fecal-oral route. Given these risks, we recommend routine detection of SARS-CoV-2 for patients with a newonset digestive symptom after a possible COVID-19 exposure.…”

Successful recovery of COVID-19-associated recurrent diarrhea and gastrointestinal hemorrhage using convalescent plasma

et al. 2020

Background Gastrointestinal symptoms are not rare among coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, but there have been no reports regarding convalescent plasma therapy for the recovery of gastrointestinal problems in COVID-19 patients. Case presentation We present two cases of patients with COVID-19-associated recurrent diarrhea and positive fecal occult blood who successfully recovered after a one-time convalescent plasma administration. Conclusion When COVID-19 patients develop recurrent or refractory gastrointestinal symptoms and fail to respond to the available treatment, alternative therapy with convalescent plasma administration may be considered.
