Priapism in a patient with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
Thromboembolic complications related to SARS-CoV-2 have been extensively reported. They include deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, ischemic stroke, and acute coronary syndrome. Penile thrombosis has not been reported as a thrombotic complication of SARS-CoV-2 infection with hypercoagulability.Here we describe a case of priapism as a thromboembolic complication in a patient with COVID-19 who recovered from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We discuss the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms mainly related to an hypercoagulability state.

Management of acute ischemic stroke in patients with COVID-19 infection: Insights from an international panel
A corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) has infected 986,776 persons as of April 2nd, 2020 over a period of 4  months. There is a possibility that Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection increases the risk of stroke similar to other respiratory tract infections [1]. Approximately 5% of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection suffer from stroke with over 80% of them being ischemic stroke [2]. T he reported mortality is 39% in patient with stroke [2] and COVID-19 infection which is much higher than the mortality observed in patients with stroke without COVID-19 infection [3].
