| Popis: |
Priapism is a rare urologic emergency in pediatric population. It is usually a consequence of sickle cell disease. Leukemia is another important cause of priapism in children. We present a case of priapism associated with an acute pulmonary infection. To our knowledge, this is the second case describing this association. In the other reported case, pulmonary infection was related to Mycoplasma Pneumoniae. The hypothesis is that infection with Mycoplasma Pneumoniae can produce a hypercoagulable state, especially in selected areas of the circulation. |
