The Importance of the Host Factor in Infections Following Transrectal Biopsy

Abstract

Objective: We investigated the effect and significance of the host factor in infections following transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy.

Material and Methods:  A total of 250 patients who underwent transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy between March 2016 and March 2018 were included in the study. The effects of positive tissue culture on post-biopsy fever and also on total infection rate were investigated. So, the effect of the host factor was tried to be clarified.

Results:A total of 78 patients (31.2%) had growth in tissue culture.  Infectious complications developed in 40 patients (16%) Growth in tissue culture  showed a statistically significant effect on the development of fever and total infectious complications after biopsy. However, only 13 (16,6%) of the patients who had tissue culture had a fever.

Conclusion: A significant relationship was found between growth in tissue culture and development of fever and total infectious complications following biopsy. However, the fact that the majority of the  patients with positive tissue culture had no fever whereas some of the patients with negative tissue culture had fever may suggest that there might be some additional effects of host-related factors.
