Abstract
Non-bacterial prostatitis is a common affliction among men and lacks objective criteria for clear identification. Forty-three consecutive patients and 20 normal controls were studied for the presence of bacteria and quantitation of prostatic secretion leukocytes. Significantly greater numbers of macrophages per volume of prostatic secretion were found in the patients. Multiple observations of such increased leukocyte proliferation could be used to establish true prostatic inflammation.
