Prostatic aspergillosis, a rare fungal infection, was successfully treated in a non-immunocompromised patient with chronic urinary issues. Surgical intervention alone resolved the invasive fungal infection without needing systemic antifungal drugs.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Prostatic aspergillosis is an exceptionally rare condition, with only three prior documented cases.
  • Invasive fungal infections typically affect immunocompromised individuals.

Observation:

  • A case of localized invasive aspergillosis affecting the prostate is presented.
  • The patient was not immunocompromised and had a history of chronic urinary retention and recurrent urinary tract infections.
  • Massive prostatomegaly necessitated surgical intervention.

Findings:

  • Transurethral resection followed by open prostatectomy was performed.
  • The patient achieved a cure without requiring systemic antifungal therapy.
  • This case highlights a unique presentation and successful management of prostatic aspergillosis.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of prostatic aspergillosis, demonstrating it can occur in non-immunocompromised hosts.
  • It suggests that surgical management may be sufficient for localized prostatic aspergillosis.
  • Further research into diagnostic and management strategies for this rare condition is warranted.
