Abstract:
We describe a case of a 56 year-old male who presented to the hospital with pneumonia and bacteremia secondary to Streptococcus pneumoniae. After admission and initiation of appropriate antibacterial therapy he began to complain of scrotal pain. Ultrasound of the testes confirmed findings of left-sided epididymitis. Urine culture, urine gonorrhea and chlamydia nucleic acid amplification and HIV testing were negative. Clinical picture suggested seeding of the epididymis with Streptococcus pneumoniae and resulting infection.
