Sonography has proven to be a useful diagnostic tool in the evaluation of scrotal abnormalities. Three uncommon, interesting abnormalities--epididymoorchitis as the presenting manifestation of Hemophilus influenzae sepsis, torsion of undescended testis, and abdominoscrotal hydrocele--are presented. All had swelling of both the scrotum and the inguinal area. Sonography played a significant role in the evaluation and management of these patients.

The acute scrotum in infants and children is generally due to torsion of the spermatic cord, torsion of the appendix testis, or acute epididymitis. An infant is presented who was found to have epididymitis and a scrotal abscess due to Haemophilus influenzae type b at the time of surgical exploration for suspected torsion of the spermatic cord.

Objective of the present paper is to review microbial diseases of the genital system of male small ruminants. The paper reviews the infections and the diseases by taking an organ approach within the genital system, whilst relevant health management actions are also discussed. Diseases of the genital organs of male small ruminants include orchitis, of bacterial or viral aetiology, epididymitis, primarily caused by Brucella ovis, by other bacteria as well (e.g., Actinobacillus seminis, Haemophilus somni), infections of the accessory glands, orf, other infections of the penis or prepuce and infections of the scrotum. The health management of rams/bucks include the appropriate diagnostic investigations, the relevant therapeutic approaches and, finally, the preventive measures.

Chancroid (also known as soft chancre and ulcus molle) is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) due to the Ducrey's bacillus (or Haemophilus ducreyi) characterized by chancre at the site of ulcerated inoculation associated with lymphadenopathy. The disease manifests as a small pinkish papule at the site of penetration of the bacterium. After an incubation period ranging from 24 hours to 15 days (on average 5 days). The lesion rapidly evolves into a more or less extended pinkish, painful, deep ulcer with very inflamed and sharp edges and a ragged appearance. The lymphadenopathies usually occur 2-3 weeks after the contact. They are often unilateral and can evolve into ulcers with pus discharge at the level of the skin. Some complications can occur: penile gangrene, extended gangrene of the skin, local superinfection, association with other sexually transmitted diseases. Bacterium can be identified by microscopic examination of a smear of the chancre-like ulcer, more rarely by fine-needle puncture biopsy of a lymphadenopathy. Giemsa or Pappenheim coloration allows identification of the germ. Treatment is based on azithromycin (1 g per os in a single dose) or ceftriaxone (250 mg administered intramuscularly in a single dose). We report the case of a 30-year old man with well-defined deep scrotum ulcer with necrotic center which occurred 1 week after unprotected sexual intercourse. Haemophilus ducrey has been detected by culture and the patient underwent Azithromycin therapy with good outcome.
