Studies analysing SARS-CoV-2 in seminal fluid or testicular biopsies have so far lacked appropriate controls and patients suffered from predominantly mild infections and tested several weeks after the infection, thereby increasing the complexity of result interpretation. Also no SARS-CoV-2 was detected in expressed prostatic secretion (EPS) of 18 confirmed Covid-19 infected patients and 5 strongly suspected cases but absent semen analyses. ./cache/cord-265221-qtkwciym.txt ./txt/cord-265221-qtkwciym.txt
