Summary
Injection of solutions of E. coli leads to vesiculitis which regresses spontaneously, and to interstitial prostatitis. Castration preceding experimental injection of a bacterial solution modifies the progression of the vesiculitis which then becomes chronic. Infection does not seem to diffuse via the lympathic system, even after castration.
