S. typhi infection rarely involves the genitourinary system. We report the first described case of acute epididymo-orchitis due to S. typhi in a 14-year-old boy from Bangladesh. A high index of suspicion should be maintained when evaluating patients coming from endemic countries also in case of unusual sites of infection.
