Abstract
900 patients hospitalized with the laboratory-confirmed new coronavirus infection were examined within Vladivostok Clinical Hospital # 1 from April 2020 to February 2021. 225 patients (62–65 years old) brought the complaint for diarrhea. In 10 % of cases diarrhea turned out to be the only symptom of the disease onset. Patients having new Coronavirus infection who were operated suffered diarrhea on the basis of antibacterial therapy in 2.5 % of observations. During postcovid period this symptom on the basis of multimorbidity was registered among 14 patients. In 2 cases the infection caused by Clostridium difficile was confirmed.
