Abstract
Men (187) with symptoms and signs of chronic prostatitis or prostatosis and 108 healthy controls were studied. U. urealyticum was isolated from 103 (55.1%) of the patients and from 24 (22.2%) of the controls. When quantitative culture of U. urealyticum is considered a typical histogram of prostatitis was evident in 36 patients (19.3%) using the Stamey localization technique. In 20 of the 36 patients the etiology was uncertain for various reasons. U. urealyticum may be considered the etiologic agent of the disease in at least 16 (8.6%) of the 187 patients with chronic prostatitis studied.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
