[Informative value of immunologic analysis of blood and ejaculate in diagnosing chronic prostatitis]

Ejaculate and blood serum from 40 patients with chronic prostatitis were studied immunologically, IgG, IgA, sIgA, IgM concentrations in ejaculate may be greatly influenced by multicomponent composition of ejaculate. This means that it is impossible to diagnose chronic prostatitis only by changes of immunoglobulin concentrations in ejaculate. Data on IgA, sIgA concentrations plus on leukocyte count in ejaculate give more information for precise diagnosis of chronic prostatitis.
