Abstract
- Although fungal infections involving the genitourinary system are increasing in case, those involving the prostate are uncommon and fungal prostatic abscesses are especially rare. There are a few sporadic reports in the literature of fungal prostatic abscess. We thought that a high index of suspicion for fungal prostatic infection must be maintained especially in high risk patients. We report a case of candidal prostatic abscess in a 37-year old man with diabetes. The diagnosis and management are discussed, and the literature is reviewed.
