Brucellosis is an endemic disease in Turkey, and testicular abscess is a rare and frequently misdiagnosed complication of brucellosis. In the literature there are only seven reported cases, and all were treated with both medical and surgical therapy. We report a case of brucellar testicular abscess treated with medical therapy only. Although the patient recovered clinically at the end of 6 weeks, the regression of the testicular lesion could not be observed until after 5 months.
布鲁氏菌病是土耳其的地方性疾病,而睾丸脓肿是布鲁氏菌病的一种罕见且经常被误诊的并发症。在文献中,仅有七例报告病例,所有病例均采用药物和手术联合治疗。我们报告了一例仅采用药物治疗的布鲁氏菌性睾丸脓肿病例。尽管患者在 6 周后临床痊愈,但直到 5 个月后才观察到睾丸病变的消退。
