Abstract
Previous studies have suggested that viruses may trigger the development of autoimmune diseases such as celiac disease. We report a 75-year-old elderly man who developed intractable diarrhea after acquiring COVID-19. We suspect the COVID-19 unmasked or triggered histology-proven celiac disease (CD) and microscopic colitis (MC), which caused the diarrhea. Clinicians should be aware of the existence of CD and MC unmasked by SARS-CoV-2 in a COVID-19 patient who developed intractable diarrhea.
