COVID-19 ENFEKSİYONUNDA ABDOMİNAL RADYOLOJİK GÖRÜNTÜLEME.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, it behaves like diffuse microthromboembolism and immune complex vasculitis and affects all systems. It usually presents with acute respiratory tract infection symptoms such as fever, weakness, fatigue, cough and myalgia, or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, anorexia and diarrhea. Although the disease is mostly seen in adults, pediatric forms defined as multisystemic inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) have also been described. Radiological findings of abdominal involvement are less known due to the clinical predominance of lung involvement. Although the clinical course is more serious in cases with abdominal involvement, successful results are obtained with effective treatment. Therefore, knowing the radiological aspects of abdominal involvement in COVID-19 is extremely important in terms of early diagnosis and correct treatment approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
