Sol'!cover reprint of the hardcover 1 st edition 1994The use of general descriptive names, registered names, trademarks, etc. in this publication does not imply, even in the absence of a specific statement, that such names are exempt from the relevant protective laws and regulations and therefore free for general use.Typesetting: VII PrefaceProstatitis syndromes continue to be a major problem in urology. About every second man will experience symptoms of prostatitis during his lifetime. A study by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics showed that approximately 25% of the men seen for urogenital problems suffer from prostatitis.What is the intention of this book? Although investigations in recent years, including microbiologic and immunologic ones, have focused on the correct diagnosis of prostatitis, much confusion still remains regarding its correct classification, its etiology, and the evaluation of diagnostic results. Many clinicians, therefore, tend to lump together several diseases of variable type and sequela as prostatitis.The term "prostatitis" implies an inflammatory disease, but true bacterial infection is detected in only 5 %-1 0% of patients. In fact, most patients reveal no significant bacterial counts in the prostatic fluid. Nonetheless, 40%-60% of these patients suffer from non bacterial prostatitis, as shown by the fact that the prostatic fluid contains elevated leukocyte counts while common uropathogens are not detected.Essentially, three clinical types of real inflammatory prostatitis are widely accepted: acute and chronic bacterial and nonbacterial prostatitis. There remains a condition denoted as prostatodynia, covering patients in whom signs of neither inflammation nor infection are found. Multiple extraprostatic disorders are suspected causes of these complaints, e.g., bladder outlet disorders, detrusor hyperreflexia, pelvic floor tension myalgia, interstitial cystitis, urolithiasis, ostitis pubis, and anogenital disorders. Proven data concerning these special problems are rare, and their association to prostatodynia is unclear. The intention of this book is to provide the reader with a clarification of the etiopathogenesis of prostatitis and the competence to exclude the patient with complaints and symptoms of prostatitis but without true prostatic inflammation, i.e., to identify the man suffering from prostatodynia, thus preventing multiple and useless antibiotic trials. Instead, if the diagnosis prostatodynia is clarified, there may be an indication for, among other things, psychodynamic investigation and therapy.This book concentrates on clinical prostatitis strictu sensu and does not treat the various types of histologically detected inflammation of the prostate, e.g., "prostatitis" associated with benign prostatic hypertrophy. Very rarely, prostatectomy specimens of younger patients or autopsy samples of prostates x Preface without evidence of hyperplasia demonstrate inflammatory infiltrates. In men up to the age of 40, prostatitis is mainly located in the peripheral gland, no...

“…IV pyelography is nonspecific in regard to prostatic abscess [8]. Scintigraphy with 67Ga-citrate has been discussed in two cases of prostatitis [9], but abscesses cannot be excluded by this method, and imaging requires 3 days. The role of MR imaging in prostatic abscess has not been determined yet.…”

The value of CT and sonography in the diagnosis and follow-up of abscesses of the prostate was studied in six patients with this disease. Five had CT alone, one had CT and sonography, and one had sonography only. CT findings included an enlarged gland with nonenhancing fluid-density collections that sometimes were multiseptated or had enhancing rims. Sonographic findings were similar, showing a hypoechoic mass with thick walls. Follow-up examinations after antibiotic therapy (one CT, one sonogram) showed improvement or resolution. In the patients studied, CT and sonography were useful methods to detect and follow the course of prostatic abscess.
