CORONA VIRUS, gastrointestinal, feco-oral routeAbstract
Covid-19 is a global health emergency originating from a small cluster of pneumonia like cases which spread to an extent to be regarded as a pandemic by WHO.in this review we discuss specifically the gastrointestinal manifestations of SARS CoV-2 positive patients in the published literature along with recent detection of SARS CoV-2 RNA in stool specimens and investigate the possible of feco oral route of viral transmission .
