Taking into account the stage-by-stage system assessment of the experience of treating 1,180 patients in a multi-specialty hospital transformed into an infectious hospital, the most characteristic clinical manifestations of digestive damage by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus are described. The article focuses on verification of changes in the digestive system, both at the stage of primary examination, and during etiotropic (in combination with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, interferon-alpha drugs), pathogenetic (in combination with corticosteroids, heparin drugs, according to indications — an interleukin-6 inhibitor) and symptomatic (antipyretics, antiemetics and antitussive drugs) therapy, carried out in accordance with Temporary guidelines of the Ministry of health of the Russian Federation “Prevention, diagnosis and treatment of new coronavirus infection Covid-19”.
