An unusual cause of bilateral scrotal abscess in a preterm infant: Candida albicans

Abstract: Acute scrotal abscess is a rare condition in neonates. Most of these abscesses were reported to be unilateral and caused by Staphylococcus and Salmonella spp. Herein, we report a bilateral scrotal abscess in a preterm infant and Candida albicans was isolated from the scrotal fluid culture. To our knowledge, this is the first bilateral scrotal abscess in a preterm infant caused by C. albicans. Therefore, this organism must be suspected in differential diagnosis of acute scrotal abscess in neonates, especially i… Show more

“…First, even immunocompetent adolescents can develop intrascrotal abscesses and testicular necrosis caused by Salmonella species. In our case, we considered the pathogenesis as a retrograde infection from the urinary tract, or a hematogenous spread as in a previous report, 3 although urine and blood cultures were not performed because there were no abnormalities in urinalysis and we initially suspected scrotal torsion. Wild and pet reptiles were reported to be asymptomatic carriers of several Salmonella serotypes.…”

Среди пациентов детского возраста наиболее частыми кауза-тивными причинами развития АМ являются острые гнойные заболевания брюшной полости (острый гной-ный аппендицит, ущемленная пахово-мошоночная грыжа), перекрут гидатиды Морганьи с последующим ее нагноением, острый гнойный эпидидимоорхит, укусы насекомыми [2,8,79,89,103].…”
