Emphysematous prostatic abscess (EPA) is a very rare but fatal urinary tract infection. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of a patient with EPA admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University in January 2022. He experienced EPA progression and deteriorated rapidly after admission, while he recovered immediately after surgical intervention through transurethral internal resection of the prostatic abscess. This case report underscores the importance of early diagnosis and effective treatment for EPA, which can reduce the mortality rate, thereby improving prognosis.
气肿性前列腺脓肿（EPA）是一种非常罕见但致命的尿路感染。我们回顾性分析了2022年1月入住南京医科大学第一附属医院的一名EPA患者的临床资料。他在入院后经历了EPA进展并迅速恶化，而在通过经尿道前列腺脓肿内切除进行手术干预后立即康复。本病例报告强调了EPA早期诊断和有效治疗的重要性，这可以降低死亡率，从而改善预后。
