Abstract:
Based on the results of 20 cases with mumps orchitis who were treated with Prednisolon (25-30 mgs per day in 5 days) or Triamcinolon (5-6 mgs per day in 5 days), the author showed that corticoids could either release fever and pain within 24 hours or 48 hours, or reduce the swelling of orches faster in comparison with the other group of patients. Nevertheless, corticoids could not prevent the orches shrinking
