Your next patient also has a Chlamydia trachomatis infection. But, this time the male pt. complains of a one sided painful abscess behind his left testicle. What dx does he likely have?

a) Chlamydia is responsible for nearly 50-60% of cases, while Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the second most common organism responsible for epididymitis. Ouch!
