You shouldn't ignore diarrhea as a possible sign of coronavirus
Most people probably feel like they're experts by now in telling which symptoms indicate coronavirus. The key signs are a dry cough and a fever, as well as fatigue and shortness of breath. But as the cases of COVID-19 continue to spiral worldwide, and scientists learn more about the disease, they're discovering other possible symptoms, too.
A new study published this week in The American Journal of Gastroenterology claims that symptoms such as diarrhoea, vomiting, and abdominal pain may be more common in coronaviruses than initially thought."Failure to recognise these patients early and often may lead to unwitting spread of the disease," a warning in the research read.
The results indicated that over half of the patients who reported digestive symptoms specifically had diarrhoea, and 19.4% of those reported diarrhoea as the first symptom they noticed. Some of the cases with digestive ailments had no respiratory symptoms at all. The findings revealed that the COVID-19 positive patients who experienced diarrhoea were more likely to have a longer delay before diagnosis, and also a longer time before getting the all-clear for the virus .
