An Unusual Case of Gastrointestinal Bleeding in a Patient With COVID-19.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is predominantly a respiratory disease that often presents with fever, cough, dyspnea, and myalgia or fatigue. Digestive symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain may accompany respiratory symptoms. However, gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding among COVID-19 patients is a rare and unusual presentation, since these patients are frequently hypercoagulable and are less likely to bleed and more likely to clot. In this report, we present a case of an 80-year-old male with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and obesity who presented with GI bleed and was subsequently found to have COVID-19.
