ABSTRACT

We reported an 8-year-old boy with panscleritis in left eye and right epididymitis after falling on the ground. Etiologic diagnosis played a key role in this case. Systemic examinations ruled out systemic autoimmune diseases, tumors, and infections as the cause of scleritis and suggested that the disease was caused by a local delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) induced by ocular trauma and was non-infectious. Still, the right epididymitis was infectious. Both conditions were treated successfully using steroids and antibiotics, respectively. Thus, early etiologic diagnosis and reasonable treatment are crucial to prevent visual loss.

ABSTRACT

The present study reports the first isolation of Actinobacillus seminis from a goat in Brazil. A four-year-old Moxotó breeding goat in a flock of 70 goats and 65 sheep reared together in the county of Patos, semiarid region of Northeastern Brazil, showed clinical signs of unilateral orchitis and epididymitis. Diagnosis of A. seminis infection was confirmed by association of clinical findings, bacterial isolation and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. This result suggests that A. seminis may be an additional cause of infertility in goats, and that sheep may be the source of infection because the mixed farming system allows the contact between sheep and goats in the semiarid region of Northeastern Brazil.

ABSTRACT

El síndrome de escroto agudo en el niño se caracteriza por dolor escrotal agudo, acompañado de signos inflamatorios. Las causas más frecuentes son torsión de apéndices testiculares, torsión de cordón espermático y epididimitis/orquitis. En esta revisión, se describe la clínica, métodos diagnósticos y tratamiento de estas patologías. Se destaca la importancia del diagnóstico diferencial precoz ya que el tratamiento oportuno de la torsión del cordón espermático disminuye la posibilidad de necrosis del testículo afectado.


Acute scrotum syndrome in children is characterized by acute scrotal pain, accompanied by inflammatory signs. The most common causes are torsion of testicular appendages, torsion of the spermatic chord and epididymitis/orchitis. In this review, we describe the clinical features, diagnostic methods and treatment of these pathologies. We also highlight the importance of early differential diagnosis because timely treatment of the spermatic chord torsion reduce the risk of necrosis in the affected testes.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Una de las complicaciones de la orquiepidédimitis (OE) aguda al largo plazo es la infertilidad secundaria a la atrofia testicular y el deterioro de la espermatogénesis. Los mecanismos fisiopatológicas exactos a través de los cuales la infección deteriora la espermatogénesis aún no están claros. Objetivo: Evaluar el impacto de la OE por Escherichia coli uropatógena (ECUP) sobre parámetros específicos de la espermatogénesis y esteroidogénesis. Materiales y método: El estudio incluyó 40 ratas Wistar macho. Post anestesia general se realizó una incisión escrotal media con posterior exposición de ambos epidídimos y conductos deferentes. Mediante la punción con una aguja 27G en el conducto deferente a un centímetro del epidídimo se inyectaron 50 ul de suspensión ECUP (10x6 UFC/ml) (grupo infectados) o suero fisiológico (grupo control). Las ratas fueron divididas en 4 grupos de 10 animales cada uno: el primer grupo infectado (n= 10) y control (n= 10) fue sacrificado a los 7 días y el segundo grupo infectado (n= 10) y control (n= 10) fue sacrificado a los 30 días post inoculación. Resultados: Respecto de los controles los animales infectados tuvieron menor (p< 0,05): concentración espermática (promedio +/- ds: 7 días = 100,2 +/- 56,8 vs 249,8 +/- 111,6; 30 días= 20,7 +/- 38,3 vs 75,3 +/- 98,7 millones/grm tejido en cola epidídimo); y mayor (p< 0,05): (i) degeneración del epitelio germinal e infiltración celular inflamatoria a los 30 días, y (ii) número de células espermatogénicas apoptóticas (índice apoptótico)detectadas por prueba de TUNEL a los 7 y a los 30 días. El ensayo inmunohistoquímico antivimentina reveló que las células apoptóticas dentro de los túbulos seminíferos fueron casi exclusivamente células germinales y no de Sertoli. No se observaron diferencias significativas en los niveles plasmáticos de testosterona entre el grupo infectado y control a los siete y treinta días de ser inyectados. Conclusiones: La OE aguda provocada...


Introduction: In the long term, one of the complications of epidydimo-orchitis (EO) is infertility due to testicular atrophy. The exact pathophisiologic mechanisms for impairment of spermatogenesis are not clear Objective: To evaluate the impact of infection by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) on spermatogenesis and stereoidogenesis. Materials and method: The study included 40 Wistar male rats. Under general anesthesia a mid scrotal incision was performed. Both epidydimis and vas deferens were exposed. Using a 27G needle, 50 ul of either UPEC suspension (10x6 CFU/ml) or saline were injected. Rats were divided into 4 groups: the first study group (n =10) and controls ( n=10) were sacrificed at 7 days; the second study group (n =10) and controls (n =10) were sacrificed at 30 days post inoculation.Results: Compared to controls, infected animals had lower sperm concentration (p <0.05). The average +/- SD at 7 days was 100.2 +/- 56.8 vs 249.8 +/- 111.6 millions/gram of tissue from the tail of the epidydimis. At 30 days the results were 20.7 +/- 38.3 vs 75.3 +/- 98.7. The study group had more degeneration of germinal epithelium and inflammation at 30 days. The apoptotic index studied by TUNEL test at 7 and 30 days was higher. Immunohistochemistry with anti vimentin antibodies revealed that the apoptotic cells within seminifirous tubules were almost exclusively germ cells and not Sertoli cells. No significant differences on testosterone plasma levels between the study and control groups were found at 7 or 30 days post injection. Conclusions: Acute EO caused by retrograde inoculation of UPEC in rats generates a significant decrease in sperm concentration. This effect is secondary between others to an impairment of sperm activity at the seminiferous tubules generated by an increased apoptotic index of the sperm cells. The effect of EO on testosterone production seems irrelevant in the clinical setting.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Acute scrotal pain is a common urological emergency. Urgent exploration is the standard means of management, since no investigation can confidently exclude torsion of testis from the differential diagnosis. METHODS: A review of all boys presenting with acute scrotal pain who underwent emergency scrotal exploration between January 1983 and March 2003 was performed. RESULTS : 195 boys were included in this study. They were divided into 3 groups: group 1-73 with epididymo-orchitis, group 2-63 with torsion of testicular appendages and group 3- 57 with spermatic cord torsion. The patients in group 2 were older than group 1, also patients in group 1 were older than group 3. During neonatal period the most common pathology was spermatic cord torsion, whereas in prepubertal period torsion of appendages was more common. In all boys, mean duration of pain at presentation was 2.11 days. Epididymo-orchitis was diagnosed in 37% of patients, with torsion of the appendages being the next most common entity. Testicular torsion was diagnosed in 29% of patients. In the group with testicular torsion salvage rate of testis was 37% because of late admission. The perioperative morbidity and mortality was not seen in any of the groups. CONCLUSION: We believe that any boy with acute scrotal pain and any suspicion of testicular torsion in physical examination must be applied routine surgical exploration.

ABSTRACT

La biopsia prostática transrectal ecoguiada es un procedimiento bien tolerado y con un bajo nivel de complicaciones. Éstas suelen ser hemorrágicas o infecciosas. Debido a una tasa inusualmente elevada de complicaciones infecciosas, decidimos caracterizar a este grupo de pacientes. Estudio de casos y controles. Se analizan 233 biopsias prostáticas transrectales realizadas entre el 1 de agosto de 2003 y el 31 de mayo de 2004, todas con anestesia local periprostática. Los pacientes recibieron preparación con ciprofloxacino (2 dosis de 500 mg previo al examen y 8 dosis posterior a éste) y enema fleet (2 aplicaciones previo al examen). Cuarenta y tres pacientes habían recibido previamente este antibiótico como tratamiento por distintas causas. Se registraron complicaciones en 9 pacientes (3,9 por ciento). Hubo 2 casos de orquiepididimitis, 1 de sepsis sin foco clínico y 6 casos de prostatitis aguda. En dos de estos últimos se registró un cuadro séptico concomitante. El promedio global de hospitalización fue de 5,4 días. El promedio de punciones fue de 14,3 para los pacientes con complicaciones y de 13,4 para los no complicados (p=0,15). En los 9 pacientes con complicaciones infecciosas, los urocultivos y/o hemocultivos arrojaron una Escherichia coli. Seis de ellos habían estado expuestos al ciprofloxacino por 10 o más días durante los 2 meses previos a la biopsia. Las complicaciones infecciosas fueron significativamente más prevalentes entre los pacientes previamente expuestos al ciprofloxacino que en aquellos no expuestos (p=0,0001; OR 10,1). Todas las cepas encontradas, excepto en un paciente, demostraron ser resistentes al ciprofloxacino. A su vez, todas ellas, excepto una, eran sensibles a las cefalosporinas de 3a generación. No se registró resistencia a los carbapenems. La sensibilidad a los aminoglicósidos y sulfas fue variable en cada caso. Las infecciones post biopsia pueden constituir un cuadro grave. En estos casos, el germen más frecuentemente encontrado es la E. coli y su resistencia al ciprofloxacino es alta. El uso previo de este fármaco se asocia a un importante riesgo de complicación infecciosa. En estos pacientes, debiera considerarse un esquema alternativo de profilaxis antibiótica.
