    Abstract:
    Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is the test of first line in mass screening program of prostate cancer. However the increase of its level can be seen in other affections of this gland (banal hypertrophy, acute prostatitis...). We report the case of 53 year's old patient presenting with urinary symptoms combined with pelvises pains due to acute prostatitis. The follow up of PSA level has shown an initial pick which regresses progressively until the normalisation after an effective antibiotherapy, with complete disappearance of the clinical symptoms.
