title: [Haemophilus influenzae orchitis in an adult].
abstract: This article reports the case of an adult suffering from orchitis due to Haemophilus influenzae. The difficulties encountered in isolating this bacteria when the correct techniques are not used may explain the apparent rarity of Haemophilus influenzae infections of the genital tract. The physiopathological mechanisms of this infection are discussed in relation to the characteristics of the strain isolated.
