<p>Ethiopia is one of the countries with high burden of pulmonary tuberculosis and the number of cases of extra pulmonary is increasing. However, diagnostic evidence to initiate anti-tuberculosis treatment among extra pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) cases is not well known. We presented here a case of isolated tuberculosis epididymitis with scrotal sinus after developing nonspecific testicular symptoms for more than 2 months and review the literature. Tuberculous epididymitis is a form of urogenital tuberculosis that is particularly rare and has the same clinical manifestation that mimics other more common infectious causes of epididymitis, leading to delay in diagnosis. So, one should maintain a high-index of suspicion to accurately diagnose tuberculous epididymitis in individuals presenting with suggestive signs and symptoms.</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
