Paratyphoid orchitis.
A case of pyogenic orchitis due to infection with Salmonella enteritidis ser. Paratyphi B is discussed. Unlike previously reported cases of Salmonella orchitis, this patient developed infection by bacteremic spread and not by direct extension from the epididymis. Therapy with chloramphenicol resulted in an excellent clinical response.
