Genitourinary coccidioidomycosis.
Symptomatic involvement of the genitourinary tract as a manifestation of disseminated Coccidioides immitis infection is uncommon. We report a case of a colovesical fistula secondary to Coccidioides immitis infection and review the pertinent medical literature.

Hyperammonemic coma due to Proteus infection.
Hyperammonemic coma without liver disease or associated deficiencies in urea cycle enzymes is rare. We report a case and discuss the pathophysiological findings of hyperammonemic coma secondary to Proteus mirabilis urinary tract infection.

Testicular torsion after orchiopexy.
We report 2 cases of testicular torsion after orchiopexy, which is rare but potentially catastrophic. A review of the literature revealed that absorbable suture was used in 15 of 16 cases of recurrent torsion. We conclude that the tunica albuginea should be secured to the scrotal wall with several nonabsorbable sutures to pex the testes permanently.
