A rare case of epididymitis caused by Enterobius vermicularis, a pinworm, is reported. A 52-year-old man underwent resection of the right epididymis and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of pinworm infection by discovering parts of the body of the oxyurid in various sections.
A 26-year-old woman presented with a six-year history of right staghorn calculus and pyonephrosis. Intravenous pyelography showed a non-functioning right kidney and chest radiography, an elevated right hemidiaphragm and fluid in the right costaphrenic space. At operation a nephrobronchial fistula was found, and nephrectomy and subdiaphragmatic drainage of the lung abscess was carried out. Culture of the pus grew Proteus mirabilis. The patient made an uneventful recovery and was discharged on the sixteenth day after operation.
