BACKGROUND Acute scrotal pain in children presents a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Epididymitis has been considered uncommon in childhood. The clinical spectrum and therapeutic policy of the acute scrotum in children is continually being reassessed. OBJECTIVES To determine whether there has been an increase in the incidence of epididymitis in children and to advocate a more sele...

A simple gel-diffusion technique is described for the diagnosis of ram epididymitis caused by Brucella ovis. The results are shown to be very similar to those obtained by the complement-fixation test, which is currently the standard method of diagnosis. The method is suitable for use in the field and is expected to facilitate the control of ram epididymitis in areas where laboratory facilities ...

PURPOSE We evaluated adult patients with acute epididymitis to identify the frequency of actual sexual contacts and the causative organism, and compared clinical examinations, degrees of manifested symptoms, and radiological test results. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the medical records of 65 patients older than 18 years presenting with acute epididymitis who had been treated between 200...

tuberculosis (tb) global prevalence remains almost unchanged over the past few decades. though genitourinary tract tuberculosis is common, it is rarely associated with scrotal fistula. we present  a rare case of advanced tuberculous epididymo-orchitis (tbeo) which culminated in removing the testis. before final diagnosis is made, it was unresponsive to empirical therapy of bacterial epididymo-o...

Acute epididymitis represents a common medical condition in the urological outpatient clinic. Mostly, epididymitis is caused by bacterial ascent through the urogenital tract, with pathogens originating either from sexually transmitted diseases or urinary tract infections. Although conservative antimicrobial therapy is possible in the majority of patients and is usually sufficient to eradicate t...

Epididymitis is a common and morbid condition seen across a wide age range. There are multiple etiologies that may lead to inflammation of the epididymis, including infection, trauma, autoimmune disease, and vasculitis. Although there have been multiple advances in imaging of the scrotum and detection of urinary pathogens, a large portion of cases remain idiopathic. Management of epididymitis i...

INTRODUCTION Amiodarone is an effective drug for life-threatening arrhythmias like recurrent ventricular fibrillation and atrial fibrillation. Amiodarone creates rarely genitourinary side effects are seen. These are epididymitis, testicular dysfunction and impotance. Amiodarone aggregates and triggers inflammation in the head of the epididym. CASE REPORT We present the case of a patient who d...
