Scrotal ultrasound in male infertility.

During an 18-month period, 200 male infertility patients had scrotal sonography examination. Fifty-seven percent showed abnormal sonogram; such as epididymitis, epididymo-orchitis, orchitis, varicocele, spermatocele, epididymal cyst and undescended testis. Among all lesions, infection was the commonest finding. There was no obvious relation between oligospermic and azospermic patients with scrotal sonographic findings except for testicular atrophy, which was very common among azospermic patients. This study indicates the role of scrotal sonography in male infertility patients.

Epididymis

Papillon-Lefevre syndrome. A report of six cases in one family.

Papillon-Lefevre syndrome in six Saudi children in the same family is described. The parents were unaffected, and parental consanguinity was present. Palmoplantar keratosis started at the age of 1 1/2 years. The loss of deciduous teeth was a consequence of juvenile periodontitis. All essential features of the syndrome were present in this series.

Adolescent

An unusual presentation of histiocytosis X.

A 20-year-old, single Saudi man was examined in the outpatient clinic in January 1980, complaining of ulcers in the groin, discharge from the right ear, and gum enlargement of 2 years' duration. Also in 1980, ulcerating lesions developed in both axillae. One year later the patient was admitted to the hospital for spontaneous pneumothorax, and in the same year a small nodule in the upper left eyelid and fissuring of the nails were noted. In 1982, the patient complained of perianal ulceration and rapidly enlarging submandibular swelling with multiple sinuses and ranula.

Adult

Liver involvement in secondary syphilis.

The results of biochemical assessment of liver function are reported in 18 patients with secondary syphilis. In 9 of the patients, enzyme abnormalities were found and the most consistant abnormality was an elevated alkaline phosphatase. Six of the patients had a liver biopsy before treatment and the main findings were mononuclear cell infiltration around the central veins and portal tracts. In all patients, the biochemical abnormality returned to normal with treatment of the syphilis.

Female

Conjunctivitis caused by beta-lactamase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Unilateral conjunctivitis caused by penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae was diagnosed in a 21-year-old man. The conjunctivitis apparently resulted from autoinfection from the urethral discharge. The patient was satisfactorily treated with a single dose intramuscular of cefoxitin (2 g) and oral probenecid (1 g).
