Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
SARS-CoV-2 virus infection, which can result in systemic inflammation, may be associated with poor outcomes. Initial studies show that COVID-19 infection resulted in prolonged hospitalizations, as well as increased morbidity and mortality. COVID-19 infection has been associated with liver injury and pancreatic injury, and also indirectly affected preventative programs (such as colorectal cancer screening). Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following: the pathogenesis of COVID-19 infections on digestive tract; COVID-19 and liver diseases (including chronic liver disease); COVID-19 and pancreas disease; COVID-19 and gastrointestinal bleeding; COVID-19 and colorectal cancer prevention; COVID-19 and its effects on hospital operations; COVID-19 and liver transplantation; and COVID-19 and associated rare gastrointestinal manifestations.
