Abstract:Our study was designed to establish the necessity of routine evaluation of patients with inflammatory (IIIA) and noninflammatory (IIIB) types of nonbacterial prostatitis (NBP) for chlamydial and ureaplasmal infections. From 1999 to 2001, 165 patients with a mean age of 35 years (range 20-54 years) were evaluated for the syndrome of chronic prostatitis. The evaluation included scoring with Prostate Symptom Score Index (PSSI) and NIH Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (CPSI), Meares-Stamey test and culturing of p… Show more
“…The conclusion is that the major problem, namely that diagnostic material may reflect urethral contamination, is not solved; isolation findings do not correlate with symptoms and prostatitis category of the patient [35].…”

“…are also discussed as aetiological organisms in chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP). Different studies revealed prevalences of these bacteria between 0.6% to 36.2% in patients with CBP [4][5][6][7]. Krieger and Riley [6] found 16S rDNA sequences of mostly unknown bacteria in 77% of prostatic biopsies of patients with CPPS.…”
“…Ce travail du NIH ne plaide donc pas pour une étiopathogénie infectieuse du SDPC. Des études ont montré des prévalences élevées du C. trachomatis et des mycoplasmes génitaux dans le sperme lors de SDPC [8,15], faisant suspecter leur rôle dans l'étiopa-thogénie du SDPC. Toutefois, l'intérêt de la spermoculture et l'implication de ces micro-organismes dans les symptômes du SDPC restent discutés.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
