Abstract

Of acute scrotal lesions in the neonates, cases needing emergent exploration are quite rare and differential diagnosis of them is not easy. Only a few cases of inflamed hydroceles occurring in young boys have been reported to have been caused by bacterial infection in the literature. We couldn't find any case concerning simultaneous bacterial infection in urine and hydrocele by the same organisms. We present an unusual case of infected hydrocele in a neonate with bacteriuria.
