Unusual cause of acute scrotal cellulitis in an HIV positive man.

A lthough scrotal inflation by saline infusion has been widely publicised on websites, 2 this procedure has rarely been reported in the medical literature. We report an HIV positive man who presented with severe scrotal cellulitis following an infusion of saline into his scrotum. Clinicians should be aware of unusual causes of scrotal cellulitis and should warn patients about potential complications of this hazardous practice. To our knowledge, this has never previously been reported in an HIV positive patient.
