A 22yo sexually active male came with 2d hx of fever with pain in scrotal area. Exam: scrotal skin
is red and tender. What is the most appropriate dx?
a. Torsion of testis
b. Orchitis
c. Inguinal hernia
d. Epididymo-orchitis
answer: D
2 day history makes torsion unlikely, fever, erythema, tenderness point to epididymo-orchitis
