Emphysematous prostatic abscess: diagnosis and treatment
Abstract:
We report an unusual case of an emphysematous prostatic abscess. Prostatic abscess is a difficult clinical diagnosis associated with lower urinary tract symptomatology and frequently diabetes mellitus. Computerized axial tomography and transrectal or transurethral ultrasonography can assist in making a specific diagnosis. Definitive treatment is complete surgical drainage, which is achieved by transurethral resection of the prostate. Wide spectrum, adjuvant antibiotic therapy should be given to assure coverage of anaerobic bacteria.
