[Brucella spp orchiepididymitis].
OBJECTIVE
To report a brucellar orchiepididymitis case and to review the diagnosis and treatment of this pathology.


METHODS
We present the case of a 62 year old man presenting with fever, testicular pain and constitutional syndrome. The diagnosis was made after ultrasound, blood cultures and anamnesis.


RESULTS
The treatment was Doxiciclin six weeks and teicoplanin, the second one was replaced with ciprofloxacin.


CONCLUSIONS
It is important to make a correct anamnesis to the patient with orchiepididymitis to identify any risk factor for brucellosis. The diagnosis is confirmed with blood cultures. The oral antibiotics are enough to cure patients.
