Is Antibiotic Prophylaxis Necessary Before Transrectal Ultrasound-Guided Prostate Biopsies?

Year 2008, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 235 - 238, 23.03.2008

Abstract

To evaluate the necessity of antibiotic prophylaxis and to determine the type of microorganisms detected in blood and urine cultures after transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsies are aimed in this study. The study group included 28 men who had undergone TRUS-guided 8 core systematic prostate biopsy. Patients did not use Fleet enema or any antibiotic prophylaxis before the biopsy procedure. Blood cultures were obtained 5 minutes after the biopsy procedure, whereas urine cultures were obtained after 30 minutes. In order to determine infection rates, results of the blood and urine cultures were evaluated and then oral ciprofloxacin was started just after the cultures. Escherischia coli (E. coli) was identified in the urine cultures of 2 (7%) patients. Pathogenic microorganisms were identified in the blood cultures of a total of 8 (28.6%) patients: E.Coli in 7 (25%) patients; and group B streptococcus in 1 (3.5%) patient. After TRUS-guided transrectal prostate biopsy E. coli, were identified at blood cultures with a high rate. These results show that antibiotic prophylaxis which is effective on E. coli is neccessary before TRUS-guided prostate biopsy.

Transrektal Ultrason Rehberliğinde Yapılan Prostat Biyopsileri Öncesinde Antibiyotik Profilaksisi Gerekli midir?

Year 2008, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 235 - 238, 23.03.2008

Abstract

Transrektal ultrason (TRUS) rehberliğinde yapılan prostat biyopsileri sonrasında kan ve idrar kültürlerinde saptanan mikrorganizma tiplerinin belirlenmesi ve antibiyotik profilaksisinin gerekliliğinin değerlendirilmesi amacı ile çalışmamız planlanmıştır. Çalışma grubunu TRUS-rehberliğinde transrektal yolla 8 kor sistematik prostat biyopsisi uygulanan 28 erkek oluşturmuştur. Hastalara biyopsi işlemi öncesinde Fleet enema veya antibiyotik profilaksisi uygulanmamıştır. Kan kültürleri biyopsi işleminin 5 dakika sonrasında alınırken idrar kültürleri işlemden 30 dakika sonra elde olunmuştur. Enfeksiyon oranlarını belirlemeye yönelik olarak, kan ve idrar kültür sonuçları değerlendirilmiş olup kültürlerden hemen sonra oral siprofloksasin başlanmıştır. Olguların 2’sinin (%7) idrar kültürlerinde Escherischia coli (E. coli) saptanmıştır. 7 (%25) hastada E. coli ve 1 (%.3.5) hastada B grubu streptokok olmak üzere toplam 8 (28.6%) hastanın kan kültürlerinde patojenik mikroorganizmalar belirlenmiştir. TRUS rehberliğinde prostat biyopsisi sonrasında, kan kültürlerinde büyük çoğunluğu E. coli olmak üzere yüksek oranda patojenik mikroorganizmalar saptanmıştır. Bu sonuçlar TRUS rehberliğinde prostat biyopsisi öncesinde özellikle E. coli üzerinde etkili antibiyotik profilaksisinin gerekli olduğunu göstermiştir.
