“…Congenital toxoplasmosis may present clinically with features of nephrotic syndrome [60]. Cases of orchiepididymitis caused by pinworms ( Enterobius vermicularis ) [61], Schistosoma haematobium [62], and Filaria [63] have been reported.…”

Acute scrotal pain in children represents a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. An important initial differentiation should be made between epididymitis and other processes that cause acute scrotal pain, such as testicular torsion and tumor. Infectious agents disseminating through the blood flow can damage the testis by causing orchitis. On the other hand, infections ascending via spermatic pathways typically lead to epididymitis [ 1 ].

The blood-epididymis barrier and inflammation

The blood-epididymis barrier (BEB) is a critical structure for male fertility. It enables the development of a specific luminal environment that allows spermatozoa to acquire both the ability to swim and fertilize an ovum. The presence of tight junctions and specific cellular transporters can regulate the composition of the epididymal lumen to favor proper sperm maturation. The BEB is also at the interface between the immune system and sperm. Not only does the BEB protect maturing spermatozoa from the immune system, it is also influenced by cytokines released during inflammation, which can result in the loss of barrier function. Such a loss is associated with an immune response, decreased sperm functions, and appears to be a contributing factor to post-testicular male infertility. Alterations in the BEB may be responsible for the formation of inflammatory conditions such as sperm granulomas. The present review summarizes current knowledge on the morphological, physiological and pathological components associated with the BEB, the role of immune function on the regulation of the BEB, and how disturbance of these factors can result in inflammatory lesions of the epididymis.

“…Testicular torsion requires emergency surgical intervention. Epididymitis is a rare clinical entity in the pediatric population and is caused mainly by broad spectra of bacterial (Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhea, Escherichia coli, Brucella), viral (mumps, cytomegalovirus), and parasite (Enterobius vermicularis) infection [1][2][3]. Noninfectious etiology includes Behcet's disease, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, and treatment with amiodaron [4].…”

Persistent scrotal pain and suspected orchido‐epididymitis of a young boy during pinworm (Enterobius vermicularis) infection in the bowel

Abstract: Pinworm is a parasite that lives usually in the bowel. Many ectopic locations, like scrotum, are known. Orchido-epididymitis by pinworm has to be kept in mind when treating boys with persistent scrotal pain.
