Abstract
PDF
- "Urosepsis in adults comprises approximately 25% of all sepsis cases and in most cases is due to complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs). Escherichia Coli (E. coli) and other Enterobacteriaceae can be expected to be the predominant pathogens in the patients with community acquired urosepsis, which needs appropriate empirical antimicrobial treatment. However, recently, increasing worldwide prevalence of quinolone-resistant E. coli and/or extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing E.coli has made clinicians difficult in treating UTIs. Lately, we experienced a urosepsis patient by quinolone-resistant and ESBL producing E. coli, with urinary stone complicated acute pyelonephritis, who didn't show any response to empirical antibiotics or appropriate bacterial culture results. We report this case to emphasis the importance of multi-drug resistance bacteria such as quinolone resistant and ESBL producing E. coli, although it is known widely, but easy to pass over."

Abstract

- Genital tuberculosis occurs in the epididymis most frequently but rarely involves the testis. Also, bilateral involvement of genital tuberculsis is rare. Diagnosis of tuberculous epididymitis and testicular involvement of tuberculosis can be challenging because they can be misdiagnosed as acute epididymitis and testicular tumor. Herein, we present a case of bilateral genital tuberculosis with unusual presentation which mimicked acute epididymitis and testicular tumor in a 72 year old male.
