Atypical presentation of COVID-19: Chronic bilateral testicular pain with lower extremity peripheral polyneuropathy, case report

In context of COVID-19 pandemic, there has been different presentations of the infection. The relationship of testicular pain with COVID-19 has not been extensively studied. We present a 31 years old male, with SARS-COV-2 infection, repeatedly consulting for intermittent bilateral testicular pain. T...
