  • Title: Tuberculous orchitis in chronic renal failure.
    Author: Alper M, Balbay O, Akman Y, Arbak P, Cam K.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 2004 Mar; 59(1):118-9. PubMed ID: 15535348.
    Abstract:
    Tuberculosis confined to the testes with no epididymal involvement is uncommon. Chronic renal failure patients requiring hemodialysis have increased risk for developing tuberculosis. We report a 47-year old chronic renal failure man presenting with right testicular tuberculous orchitis. A high index of suspicion is required to recognize the unusual presentation of tuberculosis in this group of patients, and routine screening for tuberculosis may be recommended in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
