[Local antibiotic therapy in the treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis].

In view of the great incidence of bacterial prostatitis and the small number of antibiotics which reach significant levels in the prostate gland, we have used Baert's local antibiotherapy on 24 patients suffering from chronic, bacterial prostatitis and in whom, previous treatment with trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazol had failed. 95.9% of sterilizations of prostate liquid growths were obtained six months after the treatment.
