Emphysematous prostatic abscess: diagnosis and treatment.

A J Mariani, L D Jacobs, P R Clapp

    The Journal of Urology
    |February 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    We present a rare case of emphysematous prostatic abscess, a condition challenging to diagnose. Prompt surgical drainage and antibiotics are crucial for effective treatment of this urinary tract issue.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Prostatic abscess is a challenging clinical diagnosis.
    • Often associated with lower urinary tract symptoms and diabetes mellitus.

    Observation:

    • This report details an unusual case of emphysematous prostatic abscess.
    • Emphysematous change in a prostatic abscess is rare.

    Findings:

    • Imaging techniques like CT and ultrasonography aid in diagnosis.
    • Complete surgical drainage via transurethral resection of the prostate is the definitive treatment.
    • Adjuvant broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy is necessary for anaerobic coverage.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering imaging in difficult prostatic abscess diagnoses.
