Abstract

Brucellosis is a systemic infectious disease and one of the major public health problems in our country. Genitourinary system involvement is rarely seen in brucellosis, which can involve many organs and systems. A 15-year-old patient who presented with scrotal swelling and pain and subsequently diagnosed as brucella epididymoorchitis is described in this case report. Since brucella rarely presents with epididymoorchitis, it is necessary to keep in mind the differential diagnosis of scrotal diseases, especially in areas where the disease is endemic. Diagnosis can be made with a good anamnesis and laboratory tests and the disease can be controlled with appropriate treatment.
