Resumo

Introdução: em 2020 o mundo sofreu um grande impacto com a pandemia pela doença COVID-19, em especial pela alta transmissibilidade do vírus. É uma doença que predomina com manifestações respiratórias, porém existe um acometimento do trato gastrointestinal, causando desde sintomas leves a mais graves. Destacando o sangramento gastrointestinal, é um sintoma decorrente do acometimento do vírus SARS-CoV-2 descrito por diversos relatos e séries de casos.

Métodos: por meio de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, de caráter qualitativo, foram selecionados trabalhos que correspondessem aos critérios de elegibilidade, totalizando 16 artigos incluídos nesta revisão.

Resultados: dos pacientes que manifestaram sintomas gastrointestinais associados a doença, foram identificadas comorbidades e manifestações clínicas em comum, além de terapias utilizadas como tratamento da infecção, que foram fatores predisponentes para o desenvolvimento de sangramentos gastrointestinais.

Conclusão: a presença de sangramento gastrointestinal em pacientes com COVID-19 é um dado firmado na literatura, uma vez que os mecanismos fisiopatológicos da doença afetam diretamente o TGI. O reconhecimento precoce dos sintomas e a suspeita do acometimento gastrointestinal permite um melhor manejo dos pacientes e das complicações.

Abstract

Introduction: In 2020, the world suffered a major impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, especially due to the high transmissibility of the virus. It is a disease that predominates with respiratory manifestations, but there is involvement of the gastrointestinal tract, causing symptoms ranging from mild to more severe. Highlighting gastrointestinal bleeding, it is a symptom resulting from the involvement of the SARS-CoV-2 virus described by several reports and case series.

Methods: through an integrative literature review, of a qualitative nature, works that corresponded to the eligibility criteria were selected, totaling 16 articles included in this review.

Results: of the patients who manifested gastrointestinal symptoms associated with the disease, common comorbidities and clinical manifestations were identified, in addition to therapies used to treat the infection, which were predisposing factors for the development of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Conclusion: The presence of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with COVID-19 is established in the literature, since the pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease directly affect the GIT. Early recognition of symptoms and suspicion of gastrointestinal involvement allows better management of patients and complications.
