Abstract
Abscess of the prostate is seen infrequently. We report a prostatic abscess owing to anaerobic bacteria in a 46-year-old man with a 10-year history of irritable voiding symptoms. Preoperative computerized tomography confirmed the diagnosis of prostatic abscess, which was treated with transurethral resection and broad-spectrum antibotics.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
