Abstract:
Genital presentation of filarial disease is not uncommon in endemic areas of the world. Acute, febrile illness involving the epididymis and spermatic cord (funiculoepididymitis) is one of many such presentations. With an internationally mobile society, physicians today, even in nonendemic areas, may encounter patients with filarial infestations. We report the first case of presumptive diagnosis of this disease using scrotal ultrasound.
