Abstract
The article analyzes the problem of post-COVID syndrome, which is formed in a number of patients after an infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The manifestations of the post-COVID syndrome are highly variable. Almost all organs and systems can be involved in the pathological process. In the presented report, two clinical cases of manifestation of post-COVID syndrome caused by dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract are purposefully analyzed and discussed. In one case, the post-COVID syndrome manifested itself as a manifestation of dyspeptic disorders. The examination did not confrm the functional nature of the pathology. In the second case, a diarrheal syndrome was observed that arose 2 months after the infection with SARS-CoV-2. The peculiarity of the observation is that in a patient suffering from diverticular disease of the colon, a rapid growth of the polyp of the sigmoid colon was observed. The issue of the influence of infection on the progression of the tumor process is discussed.
