  • Title: Type B Hemophilus influenzae epididymo-orchitis in the prepubertal boy.
    Author: Greenfield SP.
    Journal: J Urol; 1986 Dec; 136(6):1311-3. PubMed ID: 3490585.
    Abstract:
    The ninth pediatric case of type B Hemophilus influenzae epididymo-orchitis is reported and the literature is reviewed. This is a manifestation of systemic infection and these children often are toxic at presentation. Scrotal fluid cultures may be sterile if inappropriate culture media are used. The urinary tract is not the primary source of infection and radiographic correlation has not proved to be valuable. Antibiotic therapy may need to be prolonged in selected cases. Testicular atrophy has not been noted in these children at followup.
