===Insulin resistance===
Insulin resistance may be due to an inherent genetic risk factor. Insulin resistance may become more severe with increasing weight and age.

  • Diarrhea is an uncommon gastrointestinal symptom in patients with COVID-19, but in may be the presenting symptom in few patients. The frequency of occurrence of diarrhea varies between 1%-35%. [1]It varies widely between different studies probably due to the different criteria used to define diarrhea.
  • Greater percentage of occurrence was noted in patients with severe COVID-19 when compared to non-severe disease. Likewise, patients with gastrointenstinal symptoms were more likely to have severe respiratory disease with ARDS requiring ventilatory support. [2] [3]

Pathophysiology

  • SARS-CoV-2 uses the Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and the serine protease TMPRSS2 receptors for cell entry. These receptors are presently abundantly not only in the lungs but also in the enterocytes of the small intestinal.[4][5] Other sites of expression of the receptors in the gastrointestinal tract are-the upper esophagus, liver, and colon. [4]
  • Entry of the virus causes disruption of the enterocytes and may lead to inflammation and alteration of intestinal permeability.
  • COVID- 19 is being treated by atrial of many different antivirals and antibiotics. Diarrhea could also be a result of an alteration of the gut microbiota due to any of these. [6]

Clinical Features of Diarrhea caused by SARS-CoV-2

  • According to Jin et al[2], the definition of diarrhea was the passing of loose stools >3 times per day.
  • According to this study, 8.1% had diarrhea at onset and the symptoms lasted for approximately 4 days.
  • The duration of diarrhea ranged from 2-4 days with 3-8 bowel movements per day, according to various studies. [7][8]

Treatment

  • Supportive management is the mainstay of treatment.
  • Rehydration, fluid repletion, and potassium monitoring are essential.
  • Use of probiotics may have a role if the diarrhea is being caused by alteration of the gut microbiome. This could also be potentially useful in preventing secondary bacterial infections by restoring the gut microbiota. [6]
