Abstract:
Emphysematous prostatitis is a rare complication of bacterial prostatitis with a high mortality rate. Due to limited publications on this entity, its management is not standardized. In the reported cases, the treatment consisted of rapid and complete drainage of the abscess, with early antibiotic therapy. We report a case of emphysematous prostatitis in a 76-year-old patient at D17 of a prostatic resection who presented to the emergency room with asthenia and fever. Clinically, he was in sepsis. The isolated germ is an Enterococcus Enterobacter cloacae complex, sensitive to Piperacillin + Tazobactam. The ultimate evolution was favorable.
