Abstrakt: Brucellosis which is a zoonotic infection involving many systems, is widespread in Turkey. Although muscular and skeletal system involvements are common, genitourinary system complications (epididymo-orchitis) are observed rarely. Brucellosis accompanied by abscess formation in the vertebra is generally seen in the elderly and patients with chronic diseases, while epididymo-orchitis in young patients. However, it is very unusual to detect these two complications together. In this report, a case of 42 years old male patient with epididymo-orchitis and paravertebral abscess due to brucellosis, has been presented.
