| Popis: | Introduction and importance Covid-19 pandemic has had huge impact on health care system and put the health care system under strain, so efforts made to minimize the elective surgeries however some surgeries especially those for high risk malignant tumors cannot be postponed. The aim of this case report is to highlight the importance of screening cancer patients and those with co-morbidities such as renal impairment for Covid-19 and encouraging them to get vaccinated before undergoing elective surgeries. Case presentation We report a case of an 80 year old male patient with renal impairment who developed Covid-19 infection after transurethral resection of high grade transitional cell carcinoma of urinary bladder. Clinical discussion Although intra-hospital contagion of Covid-19 is not rare, increased risk of acquiring Covid-19 among cancer patient particularly if they have co-morbidities like renal impairment should be kept in mind and strict protective measures for Covid-19 for those patients should be done before, during and after the procedure. Conclusion We theorized that patients with high grade transitional cell carcinoma of urinary bladder should be screened for Covid-19 and get vaccinated before the procedure. |
