التهاب البروستاتا البكتيري المزمن الناجم عن البكتيريا داخل الخلايا (C. trachomatis أو Mycoplasma spp.)

References

• Prescribe a macrolide (e.g. azithromycin) or a tetracycline (e.g. doxycycline) if intracellular bacteria have been identified as the causative agent of CBP.
• If intracellular bacteria have been detected, macrolides or tetracyclines should be given.
• Azithromycin and doxycycline are active against atypical pathogens such as C. trachomatis and genital Mycoplasma spp.
• In patients with CBP caused by obligate intracellular pathogens, macrolides showed higher microbiological and clinical cure rates compared to fluoroquinolones.
• In asymptomatic post-treatment patients, routine urinalysis and/or urine culture is not mandatory as there are no validated tests of cure for bacterial prostatitis except for cessation of symptoms.
