Abstract:
We report the occurrence of epididymitis and orchitis 1 week after the onset of Listeriosis in an 11-month-old boy receiving an orthotopic liver transplantation for biliary atresia. Immunologic implications of Listeria monocytogenes-induced testicular inflammation are discussed, and the potential role of immunosuppression with tacrolimus is also discussed.
