1 Etiology and treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis the Croatian experience Višnja Škerk University Hospital for Infectious Diseases "Dr. Fran Mihaljevic" Zagreb Croatia Milano, Malpensa, 14 Nov 2008
2 The aim of our study was to investigate the etiology and treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis, especially the significance of Chlamydia trachomatis and Ureaplasma urealyticum in prostatitis syndrome and the possibilities for treatment.
3 This research is a part of several scientific research projects of the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports of the Republic of Croatia: Urogenital infections caused by C. trachomatis (no ) Etiology and treatment of chronic prostatitis (no ) Clinical significance of urogenital mycoplasma (no ) Diagnosis and treatment of patients with prostatitis syndrome (no )
4 The study was conducted at the Outpatient Department for Urogenital Infections, University Hospital for Infectious Diseases Dr Fran Mihaljevic Zagreb, Croatia, between March 1, 1999 and June 30, The Ethics Committee of the Hospital approved the study. An informed consent was signed by all the patients.
5 PATIENTS In the 9 year study, we examined a total of 3029 patients over 18 years of age with symptoms of chronic prostatitis and no evidence of structural or functional lower genitourinary tract abnormalities.
6 The inclusion criteria for chronic prostatitis was the duration of symptoms for at least 3 months. The patients complained of one or more of the following symptoms: urethral symptoms (voiding dysfunction, urinary urgency, frequency, nocturia, dysuria) prostatic symptoms (pain and discomfort in the low back and in the perineal, suprapubic, penile, scrotal, or groin areas) sexual symptoms (pain during or after ejaculation or erectile dysfunction)
7 METHODS The following data were obtained for each patient: - medical history - clinical status - digitorectal prostatic examination - urethral swab specimens - selective samples of urine and EPS (Meares and Stamey 4-glass localization technique) - the severity of chronic prostatitis symptoms scored by the Croatian translation of the NIH-CPSI questionnaire was performed in only a small number of patients
8 METHODS Urethral swab specimens were examined for the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis.
9 METHODS Quantitative segmented cultures and bacterial identification as well as the number of leukocytes were determined in three voided urine samples (first voided- VB 1, midstream - VB 2, and urine bladder sample collected immediatelly after prostatic massage - VB 3 ) and expressed prostatic secretion (EPS). (Standard microbiological methods, Clinical Microbiology Laboratory of the Hospital)
10 METHODS EPS or VB 3 were examined for the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis and Trichomonas vaginalis.
11 METHODS Urogenital mycoplasma Trichomonas vaginalis Chlamydia trachomatis semiquantitative culturing antimicrobial susceptibility test Mycoplasma duo and S.I.R. Mycoplasma test (Clinical Microbiology Laboratory of the Hospital) culturing on DIAMOND modified medium (Clinical Microbiology Laboratory of the Hospital) isolation on McCoy cells Lugol stain ( ) immunofluorescent typing with monoclonal antibodies ( onging); (Croatian Institute for Public Health, Zagreb, Croatia) DNA/RNA Digene hybridization method (Clinical Microbiology Laboratory of the Hospital)
12 The diagnostic criteria for chronic bacterial prostatitis were as follows: - presence of clinical symptoms, - presence of 10 WBC s /hpf in EPS or VB 3 - a bacterial count of 10 3 cfu/ml or more, - if only Gram-positive cocci are found in EPS, a bacterial count of 10 4 cfu/ml or more is required, - finding of ten or many times greater number of bacteria in EPS or VB 3, than VB 1 or VB 2.
13 The diagnostic criteria for chronic prostatitis caused by C. trachomatis were: -presence of clinical symptoms, -presence of 10 WBCs /hpf in EPS or VB 3 -presence of C. trachomatis in EPS or VB 3 -absence of C. trachomatis in urethral swabs -absence of other possible pathogens of chronic prostatitis in urethral swabs, EPS or VB 3.
14 The diagnostic criteria for chronic prostatitis caused by U.urealyticum or M.hominis were: -presence of clinical symptoms, -presence of 10 WBCs /hpf in EPS or VB 3, -presence of U. urealyticum or M. hominis in EPS or VB 3, -absence of U. urealyticum or M. hominis in urethral swabs, -absence of other possible pathogens of chronic prostatitis in urethral swabs, EPS or VB 3
15 The diagnostic criteria for nonbacterial prostatitis or inflammatory chronic pelvic pain syndrom were: - presence of clinical symptoms, - presence of 10 WBCs /hpf in EPS or VB 3, - absence of possible bacterial pathogens of chronic prostatitis in EPS or VB 3, - presence of Trichomonas vaginalis in EPS or VB 3
16 The diagnostic criteria for non-inflammatory chronic pelvic pain syndrome were: - presence of clinical symptoms, - no white cells in EPS or VB 3 - absence of possible pathogens of chronic prostatitis in EPS or VB 3
17 RESULTS The etiology of chronic prostatitis syndrome in patients treated at the University Hospital for Infectious Diseases Dr Fran Mihaljevic from 1999 to 2008 Microorganism confirmed Patients in EPS or VB 3 > 10 WBCs/hpf in EPS < 10 WBCs/hpf in EPS Total no. no.

18 A high incidence of etiologically confirmed chronic prostatitis syndrome cases, especially high percentage of sexually transmitted pathogens, can be explained through: - selective population referred to our outpatient department due to a suspected urogenital or sexually transmitted infection - regular analysis in these patients for the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis and Trichomonas vaginalis with the most sophisticated microbiological methods
19 In the period from 1999 until 2006, a total of 389 patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis were treated with azithromycin: patients with chronic prostatitis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis - 82 patients with chronic prostatitis caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum
20 Azitromycin total dose 4.0 g 4.5 g 6.0 g Comparative drugs Ciprofloxacin Clarithromycin Doxycycline Antimicrobial treatment in 389 patients
21 Clinical efficacy and tolerability of administered drug as well as possible adverse events were evaluated during, at the end, and at 4-6 weeks of therapy completion. Clinical response definitions: Cure complete resolution of urethral, prostatic and sexual symptoms Improvement incomplete resolution of urethral, prostatic or sexual symptoms, but no need for additional therapy; and Failure no apparent response or progression of urethral, prostatic or sexual symptoms, or additional antibiotic therapy needed.
22 Bacteriologic efficacy of the administered drug was evaluated at 4-6 weeks of therapy completion using methods identical to those used on study enrolment. Bacteriologic response definitions: Eradication eradication of Chlamydia trachomatis or Ureaplasma urealyticum at post-treatment visit; and Persistence persistence of Chlamydia trachomatis or Ureaplasma urealyticum at post-treatment visit
