Abstract
CONTRERAS ACOSTA, Rafael et al. COVID-19 atypical presentations: Case series. Rev. colom. nefrol. [online]. 2020, vol.7, suppl.2, pp.343-353. Epub May 07, 2021. ISSN 2500-5006. https://doi.org/10.22265/acnef.7.supl.2.461.
The objective of this work is to present a series of cases of COVID-19 with atypical manifestations of the disease. The cases were evaluated by an interdisciplinary team of health personnel from a fourth-level clinic in Barranquilla, Colombia, and the data was subsequently taken from the clinical history of each patient. Three cases were evaluated, initially the first case with torpid evolution, coinfection with H1N1 influenza virus, however, with satisfactory outcome, and cases two and three with gastrointestinal manifestations as disease debut, with satisfactory evolution. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic takes more lives every day, so it is necessary to describe the cases and their diverse variety of presentation, to identify the infected and take both therapeutic and preventive measures. To prevent the spread of the disease and achieve its control.
