Inflammatory bowel disease is multifactorial, involving complex
interactions between genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and
dysregulated immune responses. However, in a rare subset of paediatric
patients, a severe post-infectious hyperinflammatory syndrome may arise, termed
multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Enteritis as the only
manifestation of COVID-19 in adolescents without features of multisystem
syndrome in children (MIS-C) or a prior history of IBD is presented. The case
report of an adolescent patient (an 18-year-old male) presenting to
tertiary-care centres in the ACDS United Arab Emirates in August 2022 with

He had a 6-week’ history of acute onset of severe epigastric and lower
abdominal pain, nausea, and one episode of vomiting, loose bowel motion 1-2
times a day, back ache, sore throat, gases and distension, milk intolerance,
chest pain. A previously healthy patient after COVID-19 infection was
discovered to have severe ileitis associated with gastric helicobacter pylori
infection and bilateral kidney stag horn calculi and thyroid nodules that
showed Hurthle cell tumour. The patient was treated with budesonide and
azathioprine. A positive ANCA and ASCA may point to susceptibility to develop
Crohn’s disease triggered by COVID-19 virus. Moreover, awareness is needed to
recognise the non-respiratory manifestations of COVID-19 infection.
