A new coronavirus outbreak has started since December 31, 2019. COVID-19 can cause multi-systemic infections of which respiratory complications are the most obvious symptoms. In this report, we will describe, for the first time, an unusual mode of disclosure of COVID-19 in a patient with symptoms of acute prostatitis, initially treated with antibiotic therapy and alpha-blocker. Faced with the worsening of the clinical picture and the appearance of respiratory signs in our current pandemic context, the search for corona virus by PCR on nasopharyngeal sample was carried out and proved positive in our patient.
