Abstract
A 57-year-old male patient diagnosed with coronavirus disease nearly 2 months ago and started to be treated was admitted to intensive care after 2 weeks due to the deterioration of his general condition. The patient’s general condition improved during 3 weeks of intensive care, and he was moved to the regular unit, and his catheter was removed. Three days after being discharged from the hospital, the patient went to the emergency department due to urethral bleeding and inability to urinate. The patient had urethrorrhagia and globe vesical. A cystofix was inserted as a catheter could not be inserted. Following the urology consultation, it was decided to perform a transurethral resection of the prostate surgery. The prostate was found to be fully infarcted during the operation. Three days after the surgery, his catheter was removed, and the patient urinated spontaneously. He was then discharged. It was understood that prostatic infarctions may arise as a result of COVID-19 infection.
