Objective To investigate the clinical incidence and influence of prostatic calculi on recalcitrant chronic abacterial prostatitis (CAP). Methods During August 2004 and March 2005, a total of 104 men with recalcitrant CAP refractory to multiple prior therapies were included in the study. Severity of symptoms in these patients was defined by the Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (CPSI). The detection and volume measurement of prostatic calculi, and the measurement of prostate volume were performed by ultrasonography. Associations between severity of symptoms and prostatic calculi were assessed using SNK ?2 tests and Spearman correlation. Results Prostatic calculi were detected in 58 of the 104 men (55.8%), including type Ⅱ calculi (larger, coarser) in 31.7% of cases. Mean patient age was significantly older in men with type Ⅰ calculi (small, multiple) than with type Ⅱ calculi or without calculus (P
