Özet
Varicella infection (chickenpox) is a benign and self- limited exanthematous, contagious childhood disease. Secondary bacterial infections, neurological problems, pneumonia and hematologic involvement are frequent and well known complications. Epididymoorchitis, the inflammation of the epididymis and testicles, is a rare and unknown complication of varicella. Here, a five- year old boy with varicella infection complicated with epididymoorchitis is presented. He was admitted to our hospital on the seventh day of the vesiculopustular rash of chickenpox with scrotal induration. By the help of scrotal Doppler ultrasonography epididymoorchitis was diagnosed. He was hospitalized for antimicrobial and supportive treatment and on the sixth day discharged in good condition with oral treatment. We would like to draw attention to the rare complications of frequent illnesses. Varicella infection with epididymoorchitis is a rare, but a preventable problem.
