With the causes mentioned above in mind, it is wise to keep a broad differential of non‐surgical causes of acute abdomen in the setting of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions 5 . Any patients presenting with an acute abdomen should be tested and retested for SRAS‐CoV‐2, even in the absence of respiratory symptoms. Elevated serum ferritin may support COVID‐19 diagnosis 3 . Computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and lower chest will be valuable in ruling some of the causes and identifying pulmonary involvement. If unrevealing, we suggest performing a CT angiogram of the abdomen, focusing on mesenteric and renal vessels. We believe in the role of multidisciplinary meetings (MDT), including radiologists, surgeons, internists, and infectious experts, to tailor an individualized, case‐by‐case management approach.
