  • Title: Granulomatous cryptococcal prostatitis diagnosed by transrectal biopsy.
    Author: Seo IY, Jeong HJ, Yun KJ, Rim JS.
    Journal: Int J Urol; 2006 May; 13(5):638-9. PubMed ID: 16771744.
    Abstract:
    Cryptococcal infection primarily involves the lung and is hematogenously spread to other organs. Sometimes it might affect the genitourinary tract, and rare cases have been reported involving the prostate without systemic infection. We report a case of granulomatous prostatitis as a result of Cryptococcus neoformans yeast in an immunocompromised patient with alcoholic liver cirrhosis, which was diagnosed by transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy and treated with antifungal medication.
