“…A variety of affections, including inflammatory, immunologic and other medical conditions, target the epididymis, including bacterial, viral and fungal infections, besides idiopathic inflammation and diseases linked to the immune system (Silva et al., 2009; Soares et al., 2007). Clinically symptomatic acute epididymitis is characterised by inflammation of the epididymis, presenting typically as pain and swelling, generally occurring on one side and developing over several days, causing discomfort that is likely to need medical attention (Silva et al., 2018).…”

The testis is a potential target organ for SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. Our study intended to investigate any testicular involvement in mild‐to‐moderate COVID‐19 men. We conduct a cross‐sectional study in 18 to 55‐year‐old men hospitalised for confirmed COVID‐19. A senior radiologist executed the ultrasound with multi‐frequency linear probe in all participants, regardless of any scrotal complaints. Exclusion criteria involved any situation that could impair testicular function. Statistical analysis compared independent groups, classified by any pathological change. Categorical and numerical outcome hypotheses were tested by Fisher's Exact and Mann–Whitney tests, using the Excel for Mac, version 16.29 (p < .05). The sample size was 26 men (mean 33.7 ± 6.2 years; range: 21–42 years), all without scrotal complaints. No orchitis was seen. Eleven men (32.6 ± 5.8 years) had epididymitis (42.3%), bilateral in 19.2%. More than half of men with epididymitis displayed epididymal head augmentation > 1.2 cm (p = .002). Two distinct epididymitis’ patterns were reported: (a) disseminated micro‐abscesses (n = 6) and (b) inhomogeneous echogenicity with reactional hydrocele (n = 5). Both patterns revealed increased epididymal head, augmented Doppler flow and scrotal skin thickening. The use of colour Doppler ultrasound in mild‐to‐moderate COVID‐19 men, even in the absence of testicular complaints, might be useful to diagnose epididymitis that could elicit fertility complications.

“…Um recente estudo multicêntrico brasileiro avaliou 25 pacientes do sexo masculino com MII e 25 controles pareados por idade e estadiamento puberal. As freqüências de atividade sexual, nú-mero de parceiras com gestações espontâneas após início da doença e uso de preservativo masculino foram significativamente menores nos pacientes com MII versus controles 59 .…”

No artigo discute-se a articulação entre sistemas de informações epidemiológicas, produção científi ca e políticas de saúde de assistência à saúde do homem. ABSTRACTThe paper discusses the articulation among epidemiological information systems, scientifi c production and men's health policies. Three secondary sources were used: data from the Ministry of Health (Mortality and Hospital Information Systems, Surveillance of Protection and Risk Factors for Chronic Diseases through Telephone Survey), papers published in SciELO, and documents of the Ministry of Health regarding men's health. The results indicate that, in terms of morbidity and mortality, men are more exposed to risks than women. In the scientifi c production, studies focus predominantly on injuries and diseases that affect exclusively the male population, to the detriment of other health-related aspects. Legal documents highlight the epidemiological panorama of male morbidity and mortality and the policy-making methodology. Researchers need to expand the use of data from the epidemiological information systems of the Ministry of Health and to incorporate the gender relational perspective critically.
