- "Purpose: Proper guidelines concerning antibiotic administration for acute bacterial prostatitis (ABP) are unclear. We retrospectively analyzed treatment status and clinical outcomes to establish a proper treatment guideline. Materials and Methods: The clinical records of 669 patients from 21 hospitals diagnosed with ABP were reviewed. Prior manipulation, antibiotics administration, mean length of treatment, complication and procedure were analyzed. Results: The mean age of 538 patients (80.4%) without manipulation (group 1) and 131 patients (19.6%) with manipulation (group 2) was 58.3 years (range 19-88 years). Transrectal prostate biopsy was the most common cause of acute bacterial prostatitis (n=66; 50.4%). Of the clinical symptoms in the non-manipulation and manipulation groups, fever was most common (88.2% and 86.3%, respectively). Acute urinary retention (14.3% and 28.1%, respectively) was significantly increased in the manipulation group (p<0.05). Escherichia coli was the most frequently isolated bacterium from urine (72.0% and 66.7% of cases, respectively). Mean length of treatment was 6.5days and 7.9days, respectively; the difference was significant (p<0.05). Combination antibiotic therapy with third generation cephalosporin+aminoglycoside was used in 49.3% and 55.5% of cases, respectively. For single antibiotic therapy, second generation quinolones were used the most (35.5% and 34.3%, respectively). Sequale occurred in 29 group 1 patients (5.4%) and 20 group 2 patients (15.3%); the difference was significant (p<0.05). Conclusions: Prior manipulation was associated with 20% of ABP patients. Regardless of manipulation, clinical outcome was similar after treating with appropriate antibiotics."

- "Purpose: Due to increasing number of routine health check, urine cytology test is also increasing to rule out malignant origin of microscopic hematuria. In female, chronic inflammatory condition of the lower urinary tract with or without symptoms are not uncommon and this condition also leads to abnormal urinalysis or urinary cytologic study. In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinical correlation of the factors related with chronic inflammatory conditions in urine cytology result. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 103 female patients with microscopic hematuria from January 2005 to January 2008. All the data of participating patients were analyzed, and were divided into two groups; normal urine cytology group and abnormal urine cytology group. In each group, correlation between lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), pyuria and cytology result was analyzed. Results: In each test group we found that LUTS does not influence to urine cytology results (p=0.549). In the other hand, more pyuria cause more abnormal urine cytology results (p=0.006). Conclusions: Pyuria had effect on urine cytology result. Pyuria with or without LUTS was common in female. Therefore, care should be taken to evaluate female patients with positive hematuria response to routine urine screening test."
