It has been documented that covid-19 patients with gastrointestinal symptoms show a higher rate of liver damage than patients without gastrointestinal symptoms.

Many viruses can spread in the environment and infect people at different rates depending on the type of virus (however, the spread rate is usually very fast, and has a high potential to create an epidemic). So why can viruses spread and infect people like that?

The 2019 coronavirus disease, also known as Covid-19, is a top concern today. The epidemic situation is evolving complicatedly, and the Ministry of Health has included it in the list of dangerous infectious diseases.

The most important advice health experts can give to help us stay safe from COVID-19 is to wash our hands every day.

COVID-19 is a SARS-CoV 2 virus, belonging to the Coronavirus family. COVID-19 spreads rapidly from person to person, with a transmission rate of about 2-3. The current mortality rate varies from country to country, from 2-3% of infected cases. Understanding of SARS-CoV2 is currently limited. There is currently no vaccine or cure.

Fecal calprotectin concentrations are approximately 6 times higher than those in plasma, and its measurement is used as a surrogate marker of gastrointestinal inflammation. High fecal calprotectin concentrations in COVID-19 patients may lead to intestinal inflammation.
