Introduction: Obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by persistent irrational thoughts manifested by repeated actions. These disorders often have an impact on the social life of those who suffer from them, with a tendency towards isolation which can be exacerbated during this period of confinement. Among these disorders, the fear of contamination is very common. This fear is influenced by culture, society, and global health issues. Thus, in 1920, many cases of fear of syphilis emerged following major awareness campaigns pertaining to the disease. In the 1980s, obsessive disorders related to the risk of HIV infection appeared. Likewise, the Covid-19 coronavirus epidemic is likely to cause a significant deal of anxiety for some people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, thus justifying the aggravation of the clinical condition of this category of patients.
