ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Orchitis secondary to chickenpox (Varicella orchitis) is a rare sequelae of a common condition with only nine reports available from the current literature. We describe a case of orchitis secondary to chickenpox in a young male including the management and follow-up. In addition, the authors conducted a comprehensive review of the existing literature. In conclusion, orchitis secondary to chickenpox may lead to testicular atrophy, with potential implications for spermatogenesis, fertility and endocrine function yet to be established.
