Tuberculosis of the prostate has mainly been described in immunocompromised patients. However, it can exceptionally be found as an isolated lesion in immunocompetent patients.
We report a case of prostatic tuberculosis in a young, healthy and immunocompetent patient with unremarkable findings from intravenous urographic examination. Computed tomography showed an abscess in the prostate and Mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated in a urine culture. Treatment with isoniazid, rifampin and pyrazinamide was successful.
前列腺结核主要在免疫功能低下的患者中被描述。然而，在免疫功能正常的患者中也可罕见地发现其作为孤立病变存在。
我们报告一例年轻、健康且免疫功能正常的前列腺结核患者，静脉尿路造影检查未发现异常。计算机断层扫描显示前列腺有脓肿，尿液培养分离出结核分枝杆菌。异烟肼、利福平和吡嗪酰胺治疗成功。
