    Epididymoorchitis caused by Brucella species is a rare infection. In this report two cases of epididymoorchitis due to brucellosis are presented with their clinical and laboratory findings. The patients complained of fever, and painful testicles with swelling, the duration of which varied between 7 to 10 days. They had unilateral epididymoorchitis. Brucellosis was diagnosed serologically in all patients, whereas Brucella spp. was isolated from the blood culture of one patient. One patient was given rifampicin and doxycycline, and the other streptomycin, doxycycline and rifampicin. In all cases, complete resolution was achieved with medical treatment and relapse did not occur. Brucellosis should be considered in differential diagnosis of epididymoorchitis in endemic areas.
