Milena Dias Cabral*, Aline Campos dos Santos Silva, Karine Vieira da Rocha, Cláudia Ermida Pinto Vasconcelos
ABSTRACT
Ischemic colitis is a gastrointestinal complication that can occur in patients infected with COVID-19. This condition is characterized by decreased blood supply to the colon, resulting in inflammation and damage to the intestinal tissue. Symptoms of COVID-19 ischemic colitis include abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and fever. Early diagnosis is essential to avoid serious complications such as intestinal perforation. Treatment usually involves supportive measures, control of the COVID-19 infection, and appropriate management of ischemic colitis. More research is needed to better understand this condition and develop more effective prevention and treatment strategies. The awareness of health professionals about this complication is crucial to ensure adequate care for patients infected with COVID-19.
