Abstract
A retrospective study was undertaken of 25 children with epididymitis seen at a pediatric hospital during the last 5 yr. The symptoms and signs in these patients and the results of urinalysis, urine culture, excretory urogram, scrotal scan, exploration and white blood cell count were evaluated. The presence of underlying urological problems was particularly sought for and found to be rare prior to epididymitis. The treatment and results are reviewed.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
