Genital herpes is increasingly caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), but recurrences are less frequent than with HSV-2. Distinguishing between primary genital infection and reactivation can be difficult, but HSV-1 more often causes severe primary infections and fewer recurrences. However, as virus reactivation is common during septic shock, a severe form of HSV-1 reactivation can occur...

Background: abnormality and can be challenging in such a case. T imaging and retrograde pyelogram can also be useful in indeterminate cases. We report our experience of seven cases of ectopic ureter with renal agenesis and its management. Material and Methods: with ectopic ureter with renal agenesis. All presented with recurrent epididymo demographic, diagnostic, and procedural data were record...

We report a case of a 50-year-old male who presented to the Emergency Department and was diagnosed with epididymo-orchitis. Sonographic evaluation of the testicle initially showed a normal, low resistance color Doppler waveform. The patient was admitted to the hospital. A follow up sonogram two days later demonstrated reversal of diastolic arterial flow on Pulse-Wave color Doppler imaging. Reve...

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...

Recurrent scrotal ulcers associated with epididymo-orchitis even without other constitutional symptoms should alert the clinician of a possible diagnosis of TB.
