“…It has been reported that significant decreases in PSA levels can be seen following empirical use of antibiotics both in patients with chronic prostatitis and asymptomatic prostatitis (Schaeffer et al, 2005;Erol et al, 2006;Kaygısız et al, 2006;Serretta et al, 2008;Baltacı et al, 2009;Kyung et al, 2010;Stopiglia et al, 2010). In literature, there are some studies that significant decreases in PSA were observed following the antibiotherapy (Guercio et al, 2004;Kyung et al, 2010;Tang et al, 2010;Torky et al, 2011). In contrast, there are also studies reporting no significant PSA decreases Beside the studies reporting that there are no significant differences between the control PSA levels of cases who had received antibiotic therapy and the control PSA levels left to the natural course as reported in this study (Shtricker et al, 2009;Stopiglia et al, 2010;Heldwein et al, 2011;Eggener et al, 2013;Toktas et al, 2013;Fandella et al, 2014;Yang et al, 2015;Greiman et al, 2016), there are also contradicting studies (Erol et al, 2006;Saribacak et al, 2014;Topac et al, 2016).…”
