A member asked:
If one already has an enlarged spleen, could covid cause it to rupture or organ damage?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It's usually trauma that causes rupture of an enlarged spleen, but spontaneous rupture can occur with certain malignancies including leukemia and lymphoma. Infections such as malaria& infectious mononucleosis are other causes of nontraumatic ruptures.

It will not cause splenic rupture or damage. Covid can affect every organ in the body- but so far no spleen specific complication has been shown.
