ORCHIEPIDIDYMITIS IN A BOY WITH COVID-19

Gagliardi, Luigi MD, MSc*
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms in children are incompletely described. We present the first case of orchiepididymitis associated with COVID-19 in a boy and discuss pathways of testicular involvement by SARS-CoV2 virus. This case underlines the need for further study of the clinical presentation of pediatric COVID-19 and the potential association with nonrespiratory symptoms.
