Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 infections are accompanied by a high incidence of thromboembolic events. The infection is responsible for endothelial injury, with frequent presence of anti-phospholipid antibodies and a pro thrombotic state. All of these manifestations lead to localized thrombosis mainly in the lungs and much more rarely to arterial thrombosis. We report the case of a 67-year-old patient who presented to the emergency room for priapism complicating a Covid-19 infection.

Summary

Introduction

SARS-CoV-2 infection is most commonly manifested by influenza-like illness and respiratory symptoms. We report the case of a 67-year-old patient who presented to the emergency room for priapism complicating a Covid19 infection. Around 5 to 10% of these patients develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring hospitalization [1].
