cord-267947-dnv2xl0h	Gornet, Jean-Marc	What do surgeons need to know about the digestive disorders and paraclinical abnormalities induced by COVID-19?	2020-04-24		.txt	text/plain	3745	167	40	Fecal-oral transmission of the infection is possible, especially insofar as viral shedding in stools seems frequent and of longer duration than at the ENT level, including in patients with negative throat swab and without digestive symptoms. At the outset of the epidemic, there was a reported case of a 22-year-old female patient presenting with isolated febrile diarrhea along with normal blood test and negative fecal culture; on the other hand, chest scan revealed bilateral pneumopathy suggesting COVID-19 [7] . In a recent retrospective study involving 1141 patients presenting with documented infection, the frequency of initially isolated digestive disorders came to 16%, whereas in 96% of cases, injured lungs appeared on CT-scan [8] . This has also been reported in COVID-19, with a well-documented case of positive RT-PCR results in stools (during 7 days after hospital admission there were also 4 other negative RT-PCR test results, 2 on throat swabs, and the other 2 on sputum) in a patient presenting with non-severe bilateral pneumopathy [14] .	./cache/cord-267947-dnv2xl0h.txt	./txt/cord-267947-dnv2xl0h.txt
