  • Title: Bilateral scrotal abscesses caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae in a newborn.
    Author: Di Renzo D, Pappalepore N, Colangelo M, Chiesa PL.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2010 Mar; 45(3):E19-20. PubMed ID: 20223303.
    Abstract:
    The management of acute scrotal swelling can be challenging in neonatal age, with scrotal infections being great mimickers of testicular torsion. Only a few unilateral cases of scrotal abscess have been previously reported, mostly caused by Staphylococcus and Salmonella. We describe the case of a newborn who developed bilateral scrotal abscesses caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae and discuss the rarity of the case, regarding both the bilaterality and the pathogen, never reported before.
