And you thought anal leakage was bad...

A Covid patient who was hospitalised with a relatively mild form of the illness went on to develop a horrifying condition in what could be a world first. 

The case, which was detailed by Dr Itaru Nakamura in BMC Infectious Diseases, involved a 77-year-old man from Japan who was admitted to Tokyo Medical University Hospital after testing positive to the virus. 

He responded well to treatment and was discharged after several weeks – but soon developed alarming symptoms.
