    Diagnosing chronic non-bacterial prostatitis is challenging. This study establishes normal leucocyte and cell count ranges in expressed prostatic secretions, aiding prostatitis diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Chronic non-bacterial prostatitis presents diagnostic challenges.
    • Accurate diagnosis relies on clinical signs, symptoms, and investigations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish normal reference ranges for leucocyte and cell counts in expressed prostatic secretions (EPS).
    • To assess the utility of EPS analysis in diagnosing prostatitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Patients with prostatitis symptoms were evaluated.
    • Expressed prostatic secretions (EPS) were analyzed for leucocyte count and pathogens before and after a 3-month co-trimoxazole treatment.
    • Microscopical examination and cell counting methods were employed.

    Main Results:

    • Pre-treatment findings suggest an upper normal limit of approximately five leucocytes per high-power field (X 40 magnification) in EPS.

  • The suggested upper normal limit for cell count in EPS is around 0.5 X 10(9)/l.
  • Elevated cell counts and leucocyte estimations in EPS correlate with prostatitis symptoms and recurrent non-specific urethritis.

    • Conclusions:

    • EPS analysis, specifically leucocyte and cell counts, can aid in diagnosing prostatitis.
    • Established normal ranges provide a benchmark for interpreting EPS findings in clinical practice.
