Abstract

Two dogs with testicular swelling were sonographically diagnosed with orchitis and were subsequently diagnosed with Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF). Use of both gray scale and color Doppler sonography allowed for differentiation of orchitis from neoplasia and torsion. While only experimentally induced RMSF is reported to cause orchitis in dogs, it should be considered in any dog with vascular insult to the testes, especially when other signs of systemic illness are involved.

摘要

两只出现睾丸肿胀的犬经超声检查诊断为睾丸炎，随后被诊断为落基山斑疹热（RMSF）。灰阶超声和彩色多普勒超声的联合应用有助于鉴别睾丸炎与肿瘤及扭转。虽然据报道只有实验性诱发的RMSF会导致犬睾丸炎，但对于任何睾丸受到血管损伤的犬都应考虑该病，尤其是当伴有其他全身疾病体征时。
