RESULTS
Ten (3.6 %) patients with COVID-19 disease pneumonic infiltrations were
detected in the lung basal regions entering the abdomen CT
cross-section. Three patients had unilateral (Figure 2) and seven
patients had bilateral infiltration (Figure 3). The male to female ratio
was 6/4. The mean age was 52.4±21.6 years. Four patients had right flank
pain, Four patients had left flank pain and two patient had bilateral
flank pain. In one patient, two 5-mm-sized stones in the right kidney
and a 5-mm-sized stone in the middle part of the right ureter were
detected. One patient had a bilateral grade one hydronephrosis. In the
other eight patients, no urological pathology was observed in Abdomen
CT. A 16-year-old patient with complaints of left flank pain reflected
in the left testicle had no stone in Abdomen CT, and left epididymo
orchitis was detected in Scrotal Doppler Ultrasonography. During the
admission to the urology outpatient clinic, there were no signs of
COVID-19 disease such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath. PCR test
was positive in all patients. The median time the patients applied to
the covid-19 outpatient clinic with another symptom after leaving the
urology outpatient clinic was 2.4 (1-5) days. The median VAS score of
patients with Covid-19 findings on abdominal CT was 4 points. The median
VAS score of patients with urological pathology without Covid-19
findings was found 8 points. The VAS score was higher in the control
group, who had urological pathology and did not have Covid-19 findings
in the lung bases in abdominal CT, and it was statistically significant
(p<0.001) (Table 1).
