Summary

Careful, lower urinary tract localization studies have to be used to classify patients in the chronic bacterial prostatitis group and others. Considerable progress has been made in understanding the pathophysiology and developing rational approaches for treatment of patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis. Ciprofloxacin is a new quinolone carboxylic acid derivate with marked activity against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. A critical analysis of the most recent achievements in the area of chronic bacterial prostatitis is presented.

Zusammenfassung

Die Abgrenzung der chronischen bakteriellen Prostatitis gegenüber anderen Krankheiten erfolgt durch sorgfältige Untersuchungen zur Lokalisation der Infektion in den unteren Harnwegen. In der Aufklärung der Pathophysiologie der chronischen bakteriellen Prostatitis und Entwicklung rationaler Therapien wurden erhebliche Fortschritte gemacht. Ciprofloxacin ist ein neues Carboxylsäure-Chinolon das hohe Aktivität gegen gramnegative wie grampositive Bakterien besitzt. Die neuesten Errungenschaften auf dem Gebiet der chronischen bakteriellen Prostatitis werden einer kritischen Analyse unterzogen.
