Elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the setting of acute or chronic bacterial prostatitis is common. Serum PSA, however, is much more variable in the setting of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis. Because elevated serum PSA is associated with prostate cancer and is used in screening pr...

that may be obtained include acomplete blood count(CBC), anelectrolytepanel, blood cultures, a swab of urethral discharge if present, and sometimes a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level. ThePSA test, which is used as a screening test forprostate cancer, may also be elevated with prostatitis...
This preliminary study evaluated any association between periodontitis and PSA levels in chronic prostatitis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-five subjects, who underwent prostate biopsy based on abnormal findings on digital rectal examination and/or elevated PSA (>4.0ng/ml), participated in the...

(IL)-1β, IL-6, interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, and immunoglobulins, are elevated in the expressed prostate secretions and seminal fluid of CP/CPPS men. The memory T, T helper 1 (Th1), Th17, and Th22 cells increase in the peripheral blood of CP/CPPS men. Additionally, ...
An elevated PSA prompted a prostate biopsy revealing an adenocarinoma, chronic prostatitis as well as viral cytopathic effect consistent with CMV infection. CMV PCR in the blood was negative. A few months prior, the patient developed CMV viremia and was treated initially with ganciclovir ...
Seven patients with elevated PSA received fluoroquinolones for 4weeks before TRUSBP on the assumption that they had subclinical infectious prostatitis. Previous exposure to fluoroquinolones did not lead to important differences in respect to the studied parameters. Conclusions The prompt initiation of ...
