Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Prostate biopsy is an invasive method for diagnosis of prostate diseases requiring antibiotic use. This study was performed to determine the association of urine culture and blood culture results with rectal swap culture results in febrile cases with fluorocinolone-resistant bacteria after prostate biopsy. Methods and materials: In this observational study that was performed as a cross-sectional analytical survey, 316 febrile among 620 cases with fluorocinolone-resistant bacteria (50.1%) after prostate biopsy were enrolled and the associations of urine culture and blood culture results with rectal swap culture results were determined. Results: In this study, according to swap results, 25.9% had coinfection of staphylococcus and streptococcus, 65.2% had E. Coli, 2.5% had pseudomonas, and 6.3% had staphylococcus Aureus alone infection. Among them according to urine culture, eight subjects had pseudomonas and 9 patients had E. Coli infection in urine culture and 8 patients had pseudomonas and 10 subjects had E. Coli infection in blood culture. Both urine and blood cultures were related to rectal swap culture results (P=0.0001). The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV were 95%, 83%, 98%, and 92%, respectively for urine culture. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV were 90%, 82%, 91%, and 84%, respectively for blood culture. Conclusions: Finally, according to our findings, it may be concluded that there is significant association between urine culture and blood culture results with rectal swap culture results in febrile cases with fluorocinolone-resistant bacteria after prostate biopsy and each one may be predictive.
