Descripción
Sumario:COVID–19 is the disease caused by SARS-COV-2 coronavirus infection (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). Although its most prevalent symptoms are respiratory, there are descriptions of gastrointestinal manifestations in children, but the presentation as an acute abdomen is rare. We report the case of a 6-month-old infant who was admitted with a diagnosis of intestinal obstruction and generalized peritonitis with no apparent cause, in whom a SARS-CoV-2 rt-PCR search was positive. We have not found descriptions of similar cases in the literature so far.
