Abstract

Seventeen patients were treated for chronic bacterial prostitis by an injection of 2 gm fosfomycin sodium via perineal route directly into the prostate. Cure rate was 70% of the seven patients who allowed follow-up study at six months after Treatment with one injection. The pain, discomfortness, hematuria and hemospermia were improved except one case. Results demonstrated that direct injection into the prostate offers a new alternative method in the treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis.
