Abstract
A 43-year-old healthy male was diagnosed with symptomatic COVID-19. Soon after recovery, he experienced severe back pain, bilateral red eye, and a new penile lesion. He was diagnosed with reactive arthritis, given he presented with arthritis, conjunctivitis, and balanitis. The patient was treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), a short course of systemic steroids, and a local steroid cream on the penile lesion, followed by a local antifungal cream for two months. The patient responded well to the treatment and returned to his usual life activities.Entities:
