RESUMO
The aim of the study was to investigate the epidemiology of dermatophyte infections in Split and Dalmatia County, Croatia, between 1996 and 2002. Of 5792 samples 1318 (23.8%) were positive. Tinea corporis and tinea cruris were the most common types of dermatophytoses. Microsporum canis (36.5%), Trichophyton mentagrophytes (24.8%), and T. rubrum (21.5%) were the main etiologic factors.

The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of uropathogens isolated from outpatients living in South Croatia and the in vitro susceptibility of these organisms to antimicrobial agents. Of 5080 enrolled uropathogen isolates, 82.28% isolates were Gram-negative, the most frequent isolates being Escherichia coli (62.62%), enterococci (10.18%), Proteus mirabilis (5.31%), Streptococcus agalactiae (3.84%), Staphylococcus spp. (3.70%), Pseudomonas spp. (3.46%), Klebsiella spp. (2.38%). The E. coli resistance rate was 42.17% to amoxycillin, 20.59% to trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole and 6.09% to norfloxacin. Almost all Klebsiella spp. isolates were resistant to amoxycillin and the resistance rate to trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole was over 20%, and 14.15% to the fluoroquinolones. A high methicillin-resistance rate was found among S. aureus (61.22%) and coagulase negative staphylococci (41.48).

Symptoms of tuberculous orchiepididymitis in a 39-year-old male started with swelling of left scrotum, followed by fistula formation with suppurative discharge. There was no any improvement produced by antibiotics. Surgical extirpation of inflammatory destroyed testicle and epidydimis was performed. Presence of tubercle bacilli was not shown by bacteriological analysis of testicle tissue. Tuberculous etiology was suggested after histopathological examination of testis and epididymis. Exudate from surgical wound was examined on presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA. Etiology of orchiepididymitis was proved by positive assay and inflammatory process was completely cured by antituberculotics therapy. By this report it was clearly shown that sometimes only molecular methods could confirm etiology of inflammatory process.
