Transrectal biopsy of the prostate (TBP) is the most accurate method of diagnosing prostate cancer. Although debate remains, prophylactic antibiotic therapy is most frequently used to prevent infectious complications after TBP. Here, we present a case of Escherichia coli meningitis after TBP despite quinolone prophylaxis.
经直肠前列腺活检(TBP)是诊断前列腺癌最准确的方法。尽管仍存在争议,但预防性抗生素治疗是TBP后预防感染并发症最常用的方法。在此,我们报告一例尽管进行了喹诺酮预防仍在TBP后发生大肠杆菌脑膜炎的病例。
