Abstract:
Objective To investigate the bacterial pathogenesis in chronic prostatitis. Methods The prostatic fluid of 132 patients was studied with "five glass"segmented lower urinary tract localization culture test and measurement of IgA and IgG levels.Some bacteria positive cases were treated with levofloxacin. Results 74 patients were bacteria positive in their prostates,32 had Staphylococcus aureus,17 with Staphylococcus epidermidis,10 cases had Escherichia coli and 15 with other bacteria IgG and IgA levels were significantly higher ( P =0.031 and P =0.036) in bacteria positive prostatic fluid than in bacteria negatives ones. Conclusions The positive rate of bacteria culture in the prosatic fluid of patients with chronic prostatitis was high (56.1%) and Gram positive bacterias were more common.These pathogens may come from the partners reproductive tract.The levels of IgA and IgG in prostatic fluid were correlated to the results of bacteria culture.
