Testicular Changes Associated With Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
2021
Overview
Autopsies were conducted according to published US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.3 Six testes samples were tested by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction for 3 regions of the COVID-19 virus gene, ORFlabb, N gene, and E gene. In this analysis, evidence of acute testicular injury is seen and is particularly related to oxidative stress, which has previously been reported in animal models in association with type 2 diabetes mellitus.4 We compared our findings to a control group of 7 testes obtained during autopsy from patients who had similar comorbidities and age distribution but were negative for COVID-19. The observed testicular changes in our control group were mainly related to chronic processes (decreased spermatogenesis, reduced Leydig cells, and hyalinization of seminiferous tubules), whereas the changes in COVID-19-positive patients were acute (sloughing of spermatocytes, elongation of spermatids, and swelling of Sertoli cells).
