ABSTRACT
A retrospective study of orchiepididymitis, diagnosed and admitted to our Unit over the 1989-94 period was conducted. there were 125 orchiepididymitis, of which 16 (12.8%) had a brucellar etiology, and three had simultaneously become abscessified (18.75%). Considering that our working area is located within an endemic region, and even more, our province has the country's highest incidence rate (112.8/100000 inh.), this prompted us to study the conditions' morbidity in the testicular location, while we make a superficial revision of this disease. Brucellar orchitis is a diagnostic option to be taken into account in endemic regions, and the clinical picture associated to the orchiepididymal process should make us suspect its diagnosis and trigger follow-up of these patients.
