title: [Acute epididymitis in children].
abstract: Fifteen cases of epididymitis in children are reviewed, six of these occurring in children under twelve months of age, and nine in older children. In five of the six cases occurring in infants a U.T.I. and a malformation of the urinary tract were found, while in children over one year only three infections and two urinary malformations were discovered. Authors recommend that in infants under 1 year presenting with epididymitis a thorough investigation of the urinary tract is performed.
