Abstract

Acute Salmonella prostatitis is a very rare disease. Herein, we report on a healthy 37-year-old man presented with recently developed lower abdominal pain, fever, dysuria, frequency, and perineal pain. Clinical symptoms and signs, as well as abdominal computed tomography scan suggested acute bacterial prostatitis. The initial urine culture revealed significant colonies of Salmonella species. We could not, however, find Salmonella species from subsequent specimens from blood and stool. Three days after admission, we examined his prostate and performed prostatic massage. While we could not find Salmonella species in the follow-up urine specimen, we found Salmonella species in his expressed prostatic secretion. His symptoms and signs were improved with ciprofloxacin treatments.
