Abstract
Coronaviruses, seven of which are known to infect humans, can range from asymptomatic infection to malnutrition and death. Russia has over 12.4 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 at the time of writing, with nearly 334,000 deaths. While all other coronaviruses affect cardiovascular disease, the SARS-CoV-2 virus also has a tropism for the cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, kidneys, and nervous system. In this review, we describe the important gastrointestinal manifestations of COVID-19 in children and discuss possible underlying pathophysiological mechanisms for their occurrence.
