Abstract
The presence of dysentery as the first manifestation of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is highly atypical and it may present with concomitant respiratory symptoms or as a single manifestation. Diagnosis is often difficult due to its clinical presentation similar to gastrointestinal diseases, such as infectious diarrhea. We present a case of a 35-year-old male who presented with dysentery as the first manifestation of severe COVID-19.Entities:
