  • Title: [Antibacterial prophylaxis of bacteriuria at transrectal multifocal prostatic biopsy].
    Author: Veliev EI.
    Journal: Antibiot Khimioter; 2002; 47(7):3-5. PubMed ID: 12516189.
    Abstract:
    It was shown that prophylactic use of ciprofloxacin (500 mg per os 30 min prior to and 5 days after transrectal multifocal prostatic biopsy) along with topical treatment with 40 ml 1% povidone-iodine and evacuant enema provided negative bacteriological urine analysis in 24 hours for 94.4 per cent of cases. Positive effect was registered for all patients as no urinary tract infections were demonstrated. Transitory fever over 37.5 degrees C was not registered at 67 (97.2 per cent) patients, for the rest cases no changes of the treatment regime were necessary. The results of the trial proves high bacteriological and clinical efficacy of the therapy regimes and allow to recommend its implementation at transrectal biopsy.
