Abstract:
Objective Study the epidemiological and clinical findings of patients with Brucellar epididymo-orchitis (BEO),to provide a theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis.Methods A study was carried out to analyze the patients' files of epidemiological,outcome,clinical and laboratory features of 23 cases of BEO and 185 in patients with brucellosis in Hulunbuir People's Hospital during 2011-2013.Results The age of patients with BEO and without epididymo-orchitis (EO) were (34.48 ± 10.32) years old and (42.07 ± 12.19) years old,the difference was statistically significant (t =-2.842,P ＜ 0.05).Patients with BEO and without EO of brucellosis patients with hypogastralgia ratio was 78.3％ (18/23) and 8.6％ (14/162),the difference was statistically significant (x2 =68.238,P ＜ 0.05).The proportion of BEO cases with abnormal White Blood of Cell (WBC) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were 34.8％ (8/23) and 91.3％ (21/23),which was significantly higher than those in without EO group [9.9％ (16/162),63.0％ (102/162),x2 =11.066,7.260,all P ＜ 0.05].After 2 to 7 days,BEO patients with scrotal swelling and pain and/or tenderness relieved.After two weeks treatment,11 patients of the urinary system showed normal by ultrasound,and no patients underwent testicular resection.Conclusions Young male patients with Brucellar are prone to BEO.Laboratory abnormalities are mainly leukocytosis and high CRP level.
