TI  - Unmasking immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome: a report of tuberculous 
      epididymo-orchitis mimicking a testicular tumour in a Caucasian AIDS patient.

AB  - Worldwide, it is estimated that 14.8% of all new tuberculosis cases in adults are 
      attributable to HIV infection. Genitourinary tuberculosis is a known complication 
      and is considered to be a severe form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Isolated 
      tuberculous epididymo-orchitis is rare. We report a Caucasian HIV-positive 
      heterosexual male with a clinical diagnosis of testicular tumour for which he 
      underwent a right orchidectomy. Tuberculous epididymo-orchitis was confirmed by 
      histology. In this case, all Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS) 
      criteria were met. We want to convey the message that in HIV-positive patients 
      presenting with testicular swelling, an infective aetiology should be considered. 
      This will increase the possibility of early diagnosis and proper management.
