[Brucella spp orchiepididymitis].

OBJECTIVE: To report a brucellar orchiepididymitis case and to review the diagnosis and treatment of this pathology.

METHOD: We present the case of a 62 year old man presenting with fever, testicular pain and constitutional syndrome. The diagnosis was made after ultrasound, blood cultures and anamnesis.

RESULTS: The treatment was Doxiciclin six weeks and teicoplanin, the second one was replaced with ciprofloxacin.

CONCLUSION: It is important to make a correct anamnesis to the patient with orchiepididymitis to identify any risk factor for brucellosis. The diagnosis is confirmed with blood cultures. The oral antibiotics are enough to cure patients.
