The Detected Cryptic Organisms of Chronic Prostatitis Patients by Polymerase Chain Reaction

Abstract

Purpose: We aimed to identify the cryptic organism of the prostate in the chronic prostatitis patients by polymerase chain reaction.Materials and Methods: The polymerase chain reaction test had performed from 686 chronic prostatitis patients. The species of detected organisms from test was analyzed. Furthermore, the association between the species of organisms and the location of pain was analyzed.Results: The organisms had detected in about 80% of chronic prostatitis patients. Especially Gardnerella vaginalis showed the highest detection rate of chronic prostatitis patients (27.4%). The highest detection rate of organisms was shown in chronic prostatitis patients who had urethral pain (81.1%, p=0.016). And Chlamydia trachomatis showed the significant association with urethral pain (p=0.005).Conclusions: The organisms had detected by polymerase chain reaction in almost chronic prostatitis patients. And the association of the species of organisms and the pain location was shown.
