ABSTRACT
Although case reports have suggested an association between severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2 and appendicitis, we found that the overall incidence of appendicitis was stable throughout the pandemic at our tertiary pediatric hospital. Furthermore, we did not find evidence of CoV2 infection in 9 appendicitis tissues. Therefore, we conclude that severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2 infection of the appendix is not a common etiologic cause of pediatric appendicitis.
