Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in humans is a novel disease that can affect every organ of the body, with life-threatening consequences. Microvascular lesions and thrombosis have been previously reported in the lung, kidney, and brain. We report a case of combined intestinal lesions and Guillain-Barr? Syndrome in a patient suffering from COVID-19 in the absence of clear laboratory predictors of upcoming complications. The patient survived the severe respiratory syndrome but died after virus-related systemic organ failure.
Keywords: guillain barr? syndrome; mesenteric artery thrombosis; predictors; sars-covid2.
