Abstract

Brusella sistemik bir enfeksiyon hastalığıdır ve ülkemizde önemli bir halk sağlığı problemidir. Birçok organ ve sistemi tutabilen bu zoonotik hastalığın çocuklarda nadir bir prezentasyonu epididimoorşit şeklinde olabilir. Burada sunduğumuz adolesan olgu sadece skrotal şişlik şikayeti ile başvurmuş ve sonradan brusella epididimoorşit tanısı almıştır. Brusella nadiren epididimoorşit tablosu ile ortaya çıkabilir. Skrotal hastalıkların ayırıcı tanısında brusellaya bağlı epididimoorşitin özellikle hastalığın endemik olduğu bölgelerde akılda tutulması önemlidir. İyi bir öykü ve laboratuvar testleri ile tanıya gidilebilir ve uygun tedavi ile nekrotizan orşit, oligospermi, azospermi gibi komplikasyonlar önlenebilir. Güncel Pediatri 2013; 11: 150-2

A Case of Adolescent Brucellosis Presented with Epididymoorchitis

Abstract

Brucellosis is a sistemic infectious disease and it is a major public health problem in our country. It can involve many organs and systems and epididymoorchitis can be a rare presentation of this zoonotic disease in children. Here we report an adolescent patient who presented only with scrotal sweeling and brucella epididymoorchitis diagnosed later. Brucellosis can be rarely seen as epididimoorchitis. So it should be especially considered in the differential diagnosis in endemic areas of brucellosis. It can be diagnosed with a well documented history and relevant laboratory investigations and appropriate treatments can prevent a number of serious complications such as necrotizing orchitis, oligospermia and azospermia.
