Kurumumuzda SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyonu durumunda akut apandisitli 2 çocuğu (5,15 yaş) tanımlıyoruz ve olası bir ilişki olduğunu düşündürüyoruz. SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyonlu kişi ile temas öyküsü olan ve şiddetli gastrointestinal semptomları olan hastalarda bu enfeksiyon için test yapmanın gerekli olduğunu düşünmekteyiz.

Management of Acute Appendicide in Two Children with SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Abstract

In our institution, we describe 2 children (5,15 years old) with acute appendicitis in case of SARS-CoV-2 infection and we suggest a possible relationship. We think that testing for this infection is necessary in patients with a history of contact with a person with SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe gastrointestinal symptoms.
