[Epididymitis caused by amiodarone].
A case of epididymitis developed in a 33 year old man after treatment with the anti-arrhythmic agent, amiodarone, for approximately 18 months. No signs of bacterial infection or anatomical abnormalities were found. Amiodarone as the cause of epididymitis has only previously been described on a few occasions. We stress the importance of considering this adverse effect of amiodarone therapy as a differential diagnosis in the etiology of epididymitis.
