SEBALLOS, Valentina  and  GONZALEZ, Daniel. Clinical case: severe upper gastrointestinal bleeding and covid-19. Cir. parag. [online]. 2023, vol.47, n.3, pp.35-36. ISSN 2307-0420.  https://doi.org/10.18004/sopaci.2023.diciembre.35.

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with COVID-19 is unusual and can be fatal. It is described in up to 13% of hospitalized patients with coronavirus. Endoscopic treatment is a challenge for the patient due to the risk of respiratory failure, as well as for health personnel due to the risk of airborne transmission. We present an atypical clinical case of severe upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to COVID-19.

Keywords : Coronavirus; gastrointestinal bleeding..
