ABSTRACT
The new COVID-19 pandemic has been initially linked to respiratory manisfestations. However, there is increasing evidence that other systems are affected by SARS-CoV2; one of which is the gastrointestinal system with several organ-related symptoms and possible implications on prognosis and spread. Diarrhoea is one of the main symptoms of gastrointestinal involvement. In this review the mechanisms, characteristics, prognostic significance and managment of of COVID-19 related diarrhoea are discussed. The possibility of faecal transmission of disease is reviewed.
