Introduction: Brucellar epididymo-orchitis (BEO) is the most common variant of genitourinary brucellosis and is encountered in 2 to 20% of patients with brucellosis. This report details clinical and laboratory features, diagnostic evaluations, treatment modalities, and final outcomes for 14 patients with brucellar epididymo-orchitis. Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, we describ...

An Asian man initially presented with a urethral discharge caused by lower urinary tract infection, which was followed by acute epididymo-orchitis. This responded well to antibiotics but was followed by a less acute form of epididymo-orchitis, which did not respond to antibiotics and which tissue biopsy showed to be tuberculous. The inflammatory injury of acute epididymo-orchitis may have activ...

Introduction: Brucellosis is zoonotic infection caused by Brucella bacteria. It is endemic in Turkey. Brucellosis can be followed by genitourinary complications in 2-20% of cases. The most common genitourinary complication in males is unilateral brucellar epididymo-orchitis (BEO).

Purpose/Aim: The purpose was to determine the distinguishing of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for brucellar spondylodiscitis in cervical or thoracic segments. Materials and methods: 20 among 260 brucellosis patients, aged 32-63 y old (average, 50.3 y), were chosen. We diagnosed according to epidemiological history, clinical symptoms, Brucellar standard agglutination testing, and MRI findings...
