Abstract
Non-respiratory conditions related to SARS-CoV-2 infections have been largely described. Ileocolic intussusception has been reported in association with SARS-CoV-2 infection in ten children, raising the possibility of an etiopathologic role for the virus, but none of these cases documented tissue pathology that would have supported SARS-CoV-2 intestinal inflammation. We report two cases of intussusception in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection who were treated at different pediatric tertiary centers in Europe and provide evidence of the presence of the virus in mesenteric and intestinal tissues of the patients.
