Brucellosis is a rare cause of orchitis. This study identified two cases of brucellar orchiepididymitis in patients with persistent symptoms and antibiotic resistance, highlighting the need for diagnostic consideration.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Urology

Background:

  • Brucellosis incidence has decreased due to improved preventive measures.
  • Orchitis is an inflammation of the testicle, often presenting as a diagnostic challenge.

Observation:

  • A retrospective study reviewed 31 patients admitted for orchitis between 1996 and 1998.
  • Two patients (6.5%) were diagnosed with brucellar orchiepididymitis.

Findings:

  • Both patients exhibited systemic symptoms and resistance to standard antibiotic therapies.
  • Epidemiological history and clinical course suggested brucellar etiology, prompting a change in antibiotic management.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed via serological tests and blood cultures.

Implications:

  • Brucellar orchiepididymitis should be considered in patients with orchitis, especially those with systemic symptoms and antibiotic resistance.
  • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes.
  • Serological testing and blood cultures are essential for confirming brucellar infections.
