Residual #SARS-CoV-2 🦠 ags detected in GI and liver tissues from 5 recovered pts with #COVID-19. gut.bmj.com/content/early/… @vipintukur @AskDrShashank @VirusesImmunity
#SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (NP) was detected in the colon, appendix, ileum, haemorrhoid, liver, gall- bladder and lymph nodes from 5 pts who recovered from COVID-19, ranging from 9 to 180 days after testing -ve for SARS-CoV-2. #MedTwitter 
Although resp transmission is responsible for most COVID-19 inf, there is ⬆️ evidence of COVID-19 causing GI & hepatic manifestations, as studies reported the presence positive SARS-CoV-2 RNA in anal swabs & stool samples, despite NP or sputum specimens testing -ve for the virus
It seems that a negative swab result might not necessarily indicate complete viral clearance from the body...!! @BagaiDr @ICMRDELHI @iiscbangalore
