Abstract

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is often a mild, asymptomatic and a subclinical illness. Numerous immune-mediated extrahepatic manifestations have been described in patients with acute and chronic viral hepatitis B infection. Besides, there are only a limited number of studies on the co-existence of acute HBV infection and epididymitis in the literature. In this report, we present an adult male patient with epididymitis that might be related to acute hepatitis B.

Özet

Hepatit B enfeksiyonu sıklıkla asemptomatik ve subklinik seyreden bir hastalıktır. Akut ve kronik hepatit B enfeksiyonu ile birlikte çok sayıda ekstrahepatik bulgu tanımlanmaktadır. Ancak literatürde akut hepatit B enfeksiyonuna ekstrahepatik bulgu olarak epididimitin eşlik ettiği vaka sayısı sınırlıdır. Bu çalışmada, akut hepatit B enfeksiyonu ile ilişkili olduğu düşünülen bir epididimit olgusu sunulmuştur.
