Potential implications of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) related gastrointestinal symptoms for abdominal imaging 2020-05-01 .txt text/plain 483 40 47 title: Potential implications of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) related gastrointestinal symptoms for abdominal imaging The most frequently reported symptoms in a recent meta-analysis of 46,248 infected patients include fever (91%), cough (67%), fatigue (51%), and dyspnea (30%). 1 However, a recent review has demonstrated that gastrointestinal symptoms including anorexia (40e50%), diarrhea (2e50%), vomiting (4e67%), nausea (1e29%), abdominal pain (2e6%) and gastrointestinal bleeding (4e14%) may also occur in patients with COVID-19. 5 The rise in reporting of gastrointestinal symptoms related to COVID-19 has important potential implications for radiographers. Secondly, radiographers should be prepared that the number of requests for COVID-19 related abdominal imaging may increase. Abdominal organs with high concentrations of ACE2 expression may be theoretically vulnerable to COVID-19 related infections. At the present time, there are no known imaging reports of COVID-19 related inflammatory changes in these abdominal organs. ./cache/cord-302304-wc40gouw.txt ./txt/cord-302304-wc40gouw.txt
