Abstract:   (904 Views)
  • The novel coronavirus (SARS‑CoV‑2) has caused widespread pneumonia in the world, with typical signs and symptoms of viral pneumonia such as cough, sore throat, fever, fatigue, and myalgia. Atypical signs and symptoms such as cardiac, gastrointestinal, neurological, and genital manifestations also have been reported. These atypical symptoms may initially be misdiagnosed and patients may not treat them properly; thus, it is important to consider these atypical symptoms in such cases. In this article, we report a patient with testicular pain, an atypical and rare sign and symptom of Covid-19.
