OZET Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is often a mild, asymptomatic and a subclinical illness. Numerous immune-mediated extrahepatic manifestations have been described in patients with acute and chronic viral hepatitis B infection. Besides, there are only a limited number of studies on the co-existence of acute HBV infection and epididymitis in the literature.
