Tuberculous prostatitis is rare in prostate cancer patients in Bangladesh
Journal Title: Bioresearch Communications - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
This study investigated whether tuberculous prostatitis is common among patients with different prostatic lesions including prostate cancer in Bangladesh. None of the 85 biopsy sample revealed acid fast bacilli on Ziehl-Neelsen (Z-N) microscopy or the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis on polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Moreover, eight samples of prostatic adenocarcinoma which were also tested by Xpert MTB/RIF assay did not show presence of M. tuberculosis. These findings indicate that tuberculous prostatitis is rare in the cross section Bangladeshi population investigated in this study.
