PURPOSE The National Institutes of Health classification of prostatitis reported the proportion of chronic bacterial prostatitis, especially category II, at 3% to 10%. Because of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) diagnosis technique, chronic prostatitis syndrome (CPS) with a known bacterial origin has increased recently. In this study, we evaluated the proportion of chronic bacterial prostati...

Experimental autoimmune prostatitis (EAP) is considered a valid model for the human disease chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome. In this report, we analyzed phenotypic characteristics of T cells that gain access to the prostate and induce leukocyte recruitment in mice with different susceptibility to EAP. After EAP induction, NOD mice developed a specific cellular response characte...

Haemophilus influenzae has been reported on rare occasions as the cause of prostatitis and urinary tract infections. Here, we report a rare case of chronic prostatitis in a 52-year-old male with benign prostatic hypertrophy and discuss the possible underestimation of the true incidence of H. influenzae in genitourinary infections. This organism was identified only by its growth on chocolate aga...

Prostate cancer (PC), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostatitis are the most common disorders of the prostate gland. Prostate specific antigen (PSA), the marker of prostate cancer has shown reasonable sensitivity but has limited specificity for distinguishing PC from BPH.This study attempts to evaluate the use of uric acid phosphate ratio as a tool in differential diagnosis of prostate...

A perfectly well 39-year-old man sneezed during micturition and developed classic features of acute bacterial prostatitis corroborated by laboratory evidence of prostatic inflammation/infection. The prostate-specific antigen level at presentation was 9.6 ng/mL and declined to 1.23 ng/mL one month later on levofloxacin. This is the first report in the medical literature of sneezing while voiding...

Background and Objective: Distal ureterolithiasis is one of the most common urinary tract problems can be accompanied by such symptoms as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, dysuria, frequent urination, hematuria. Case Presentation: The ureteral stone might misdiagnosed in presence atypical symptoms. We reported a 31-year-old man with clinical signs prostatitis, normal laboratory tests, ultrasono...

OBJECTIVES The National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) was used to determine the chronic prostatitis syndrome in young men (from 20 to 48 years old) of clinical validity. METHODS 227 patients with chronic prostatitis syndrome (CPS)/chronic pelvic pain syndrome and 32 patients with BPH were randomized to study using NIH-CPSI. RESULTS 1. The main manifestati...
