Morphological changes in testicles of patients with idiopathic infertility after novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19)

Introduction. SARS-CoV-2 causes several negative processes in the body and complicates the course of chronic somatic diseases, causing dysfunction and having a negative effect on many organs and systems of the body, including organs of the reproductive system.Objective. To study morphological change...

description Introduction. SARS-CoV-2 causes several negative processes in the body and complicates the course of chronic somatic diseases, causing dysfunction and having a negative effect on many organs and systems of the body, including organs of the reproductive system.Objective. To study morphological changes in testicles of patients who have undergone a new coronavirus infection.Materials and methods. Objects of morphological research were testicular tissues obtained by intraoperative biopsy under intravenous anesthesia served. Material sampling was carried out in 12 patients aged 25–29 years with idiopathic infertility who underwent COVID-19. Patients showed ultrasound signs of fibrosis in the testicles, which were absent before infection with SARS-CoV-2. The biopsy was performed 12 months after COVID-19.Results. In all observations, changes were observed that are characteristic of the inflammatory process, nonbacterial autoimmune genesis. Histio-lymphocytic infiltration of testicular tissue with destruction of single tubules and parenchyma atrophy, combined with varying degrees of sclerosis, was verified.Conclusion. In testicular biopsy specimens from patients who have undergone COVID-19, an autoimmune inflammatory process is recorded, manifested by lymphocytic infiltration of testicular tissue, which was combined with varying degrees of sclerosis.
