ABSTRACT
Typical presentations of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) including respiratory symptoms (cough, respiratory distress and hypoxia), fever and dyspnoea are considered main symptoms in adults, but atypical presentation in children could be a diagnostic challenge. We report three children whose initial presentation was gastrointestinal, and in whom Covid-19 infection was found, concluding that cases of acute appendicitis, mesenteric adenitis and flank tenderness may mask an infection with this virus, and should therefore be investigated.
