Abstract

WRONOWSKI, M et al. Orchiepididymitis in a 14-year-old boy with concurrent SARS-CoV-2 infection. S. Afr. j. child health [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.4, pp.227-228. ISSN 1999-7671.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7196/SAJCH.2021.v15i4.1869.

The symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 provoked by this virus are poorly described in children. Here we analyse a case of orchiepididymitis associated with COVID-19 in a 14-year-old boy. We discuss the possibility of SARS-CoV-2-associated testicular inflammation. This report strengthens the necessity for more in-depth study of the clinical presentation of paediatric COVID-19 and the potential association with non-respiratory symptoms.
