UK man goes on sexual escapade during a coronavirus-related manic episode

A man who was diagnosed with COVID-19 had a rare symptom of the respiratory illness: he experienced a manic episode, in which he told his wife he'd had sex with other men but kept it a secret.

The 41-year-old UK-based man came to the emergency room after he woke up in the middle of the night and told his wife he felt like he was "going to die," the study authors wrote in a case study published in the journal BMJ Case Reports.

Before he got the hospital, he confessed to his wife that he'd had sexual experiences with other men, which she later told the doctors was news to her, and seemed unlike her husband.

Doctors learned the man had been battling a fever and a dry cough for 10 days, and had an excruciating headache for the past day.

After running some tests, they confirmed he had COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, which has been increasingly linked with cognitive symptoms including delirium, mania, and brain fog.

Once at the hospital, the man kept acting in a sexual manner, making inappropriate comments to staff members and touching them without their permission.

He spoke about religion, the doctors wrote, but didn't have any hallucinations.
