Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Although hematogenous acute epididymo-orchitis complicating Gram negative bacteremia, tuberculosis and brucellosis have been reported in medical literature, there is paucity of report on acute epididymo-orchitis complicating Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteremia.

CASE REPORT: We report the case of hematogenous acute epididymo-orchitis from S. pneumoniae bacteremia in an adult chronic cigarette smoker and alcoholic with community acquired pneumonia.

CONCLUSION: We recommend that acute epididymo-orchitis should be remember as a sequel of S. pneumoniae bacteremia especially in adult males with immune suppression
