De Novo Urinary Symptoms Associated With COVID-19: COVID-19-Associated Cystitis

Abstract

Clinical symptoms that present early in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), have been well-reported. Although the majority number of patients develop mild symptoms, a small percentage can progressively develop acute respiratory distress syndrome and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome resulting in demise [1]. There is an emergence of new symptoms that involve many organ systems, some more subtle than others. As these symptoms may overlap with other common disease processes, it has been difficult to identify and link these symptoms as direct association with COVID-19 as the underlying cause [2]
