Abstract

We report the case of an 18-year-old male patient with epididymo-orchitis following MMR vaccine. Salivary gland involvement, meningitis/encephalitis are well-known complications of the MMR vaccine, but involvement and infection of the testis is a rarity. A search for this complication on the medical databases showed no reported cases in the UK.
