冠状病毒病-19是一种新型大流行性传染性呼吸道感染，经常出现发热和干咳。但是，它可能会出现其他罕见的症状。由于这种疾病是一种新的疾病，疾病表现的全貌尚不清楚，它可能会出现其他常见疾病的症状和体征。在此，我们报告一位40岁女性，临床表现为急性发作的恶心、呕吐、食欲不振和不明腹痛，临床表现为阑尾炎，但腹部CT图像显示阑尾正常，双侧斑片状周围肺基底实变和磨玻璃样衰减，因此她进行了冠状病毒病-19检测，结果为阳性。(C)2020作者（S）爱思唯尔有限公司出版
Coronavirus disease -19 is a novel pandemic contagious respiratory infection that frequently presents with fever and dry cough. However, it can present with other rare symptoms. As this disease is a new disease, the full picture of the disease presentation is not yet clear, and it might present with symptoms and signs of other common diseases. Here, we report a 40 year old female who presented with acute onset nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and vague abdominal pain as a clinical picture of appendicitis, but her CT abdomen image showed normal appendix, bilateral patchy peripheral lung basal consolidation, and ground-glass attenuation, so she was tested for coronavirus disease-19, which was positive.
