Forty men with clinical prostatitis were studied to determine the value of symptomatology and categorization and 30 (75%) were classified as having prostatitis on the basis of prostatic localization studies. Of these 3 (10%) had chronic bacterial prostatitis, 18 (60%) had chronic abacterial prostatitis, and 9 (30%) had prostatodynia. No patient had acute bacterial prostatitis. Although Enterobacteriaciae were isolated from the 3 men with chronic bacterial prostatitis, these bacteria along with Staphlococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, and Chlamydia trachomatis were isolated from a further 6 patients. The mean pH of the expressed prostatic secretion was measured for each group and was found to be 7.6 for those with chronic bacterial prostatitis, 7.1 for chronic abacterial prostatitis, 6.5 for prostatodynia, and 6.9 for those with urethritis suggesting that this test may be of value in the diagnosis of chronic bacterial prostatitis.
对40名临床诊断为前列腺炎的男性进行研究，以确定症状学和分类的价值。根据前列腺定位研究，其中30名（75%）被归类为患有前列腺炎。在这30名患者中，3名（10%）患有慢性细菌性前列腺炎，18名（60%）患有慢性非细菌性前列腺炎，9名（30%）患有前列腺痛。没有患者患有急性细菌性前列腺炎。虽然从3名慢性细菌性前列腺炎患者中分离出了肠杆菌科细菌，但在另外6名患者中也分离出了这些细菌以及金黄色葡萄球菌、粪肠球菌和沙眼衣原体。对每组患者测定了前列腺液的平均pH值，发现慢性细菌性前列腺炎患者为7.6，慢性非细菌性前列腺炎患者为7.1，前列腺痛患者为6.5，尿道炎患者为6.9，这表明该测试可能对慢性细菌性前列腺炎的诊断有价值。
