摘要：
In response to concerns about the occurrence of epididymitis among employees at a Du Pont textile fibers plant, information was obtained from 1342 (94.8%) active male employees on history of epididymitis and/or orchitis (6.8%), prostatitis (11.5%), other genitourinary conditions, and vasectomy. Vasectomy was associated with an odds ratio of 3.26 (90% confidence interval (CI) = 1.96, 5.43) for subsequent development of epididymitis. History of prostatitis was also a risk factor for epididymitis (odds ratio = 5.02, 90% CI = 2.94, 8.58).
