    Rubella infection can cause testicular pain in adolescent and young adult males. This study investigated this symptom during a college campus outbreak, finding five cases of pain without swelling.

    Area of Science:

    • Epidemiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Rubella outbreaks can affect college campuses.
    • Orchitis (testicular inflammation) is a known complication of some viral infections.
    • Rubella is increasingly reported in older adolescents and adults in the US.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the occurrence of testicular pain and orchitis in males following a rubella outbreak.
    • To raise awareness of rubella as a potential cause of testicular symptoms in postpubertal males.

    Main Methods:

    • Observational study during a rubella outbreak on a college campus.
    • Case identification of male students with rubella infection.
    • Symptom reporting and laboratory confirmation of infection.

    Main Results:

    • Out of 68 subjects with rubella, five reported testicular pain lasting up to three days.
    • Two of these five cases had laboratory-confirmed rubella.
    • The reported pain occurred without significant swelling.

    Conclusions:

    • Rubella infection should be considered as a potential cause of testicular pain in adolescent and young adult males.
    • Increased awareness of this symptom may aid in diagnosis and management.
    • Further research is needed to fully characterize rubella-associated orchitis.
