Abstract:
The clinico-immunological examination of 57 patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis was carried out. The clinical analysis made it possible to divide the patients into 3 groups characterized by the presence of chronic inflammatory diseases of other organs which had appeared before (group 1) or after (group 2) the manifestation of the symptoms of prostatitis, aw well as by the absence of concomitant inflammatory diseases (group 3). At the same time these patients were found to have changes in their immune status, most pronounced in patients of groups 1 and 2. The clinico-immunological analysis of the patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis revealed the fact that chronic bacterial prostatitis was a chronic inflammatory process linked with changes in the immune system; these changes had the signs of secondary immunodeficiency and required immunocorrective therapy.
