Prostate biopsy, a frequently performed procedure, is not harmless. In rare cases, life-threatening complications occur. We document a potential lethal bacterial meningitis after transrectal biopsy. In addition to our overview of all previously documented cases, we highlight the evidence of prevention of infectious complications when performing a prostate biopsy.
前列腺活检是一项经常进行的操作,并非毫无风险。在罕见情况下,会出现危及生命的并发症。我们记录了一例经直肠活检后发生的潜在致命性细菌性脑膜炎。除了对所有先前记录的病例进行概述外,我们还强调了在进行前列腺活检时预防感染并发症的证据。
