Resumen

La brucelosis es una zoonosis que puede afectar al hombre. La orquitis brucellosa es una complicación rara de esta enfermedad sistémica (2-14%). Puede evolucionar a una forma necrotizante que hay que distinguir de otras orquiepididimitis granulomatosas (TBC y Salmonela). El tratamiento con antimicrobianos específicos puede evitar la orquiectomía y además previene la afectación contralateral y las manifestaciones sistémicas.

Presentamos un caso de orquiepididimitis brucelosa en un joven de 19 años que vivía en una gran ciudad y en el que la anamnesis fue crucial para el diagnóstico. Además realizamos una revisión del diagnóstico y manejo de esta rara infección testicular.

Abstract

Brucellosis is a cause of human disease, especially in regions whose brucellosis in animals is enzootic. Brucella orchitis is a rare complication of systemic brucellosis (2-14%). Necrotizing orchitis is posible and it must be distinguished from necrotizing involvement arising from other pathogens (TB or Salmonella). Treatment with specific antimicrobial medication helps to avoid unnecessary orchiectomy and prevent infectious disease in the contralateral testis as well as systemic manifestations.

We report a case of brucellar epididymo-orchitis presenting as an acute scrotal mass in a 19 years old male who lived in a city. The anamnesis was crucial in the diagnosis of this rare testicular infection. We review the diagnosis and management of this patology.
