  • Title: Prostatic abscess caused by community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
    Author: Park SC, Lee JW, Rim JS.
    Journal: Int J Urol; 2011 Jul; 18(7):536-8. PubMed ID: 21615798.
    Abstract:
    Prostatic abscess is uncommon and difficult to diagnose, because its clinical presentation mimics lower urinary tract symptoms. Prostatic abscess is often caused by gram-negative organisms and occasionally by Staphylococcus aureus. Community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) often causes skin and soft-tissue infections, and rarely causes genitourinary infections. We report what we believe is the second case of a prostatic abscess as a result of MRSA in a healthy diabetic patient who was treated with transurethral resection of the prostate and intravenous administration of vancomycin.
