Introduction. Biopsy of prostate is a routine urologic procedure. Nevertheless the frequency of infectious-inflammatory complications remain high, despite the recommended antibiotic prophylaxis schemes.Purpose. The evaluation of effectiveness and safety of combined antimicrobial prophylaxis: fosfomycin trometamol and fluoroquinolones of 3rd generation.Materials and methods. Our clinical study included 80 patients who underwent prostate biopsy were divided into 2 groups. The first group of 40 patients received routine prophylaxis: levofloxacin 500 mg 6 h before the biopsy and 500 mg per day during 4 days after biopsy. The second group of 40 patients, along with standard prophylaxis as in the first group, additionally after biopsy received fosfomycin trometamol 3 gr single-shot.Results. In the first group, infectious and inflammatory complications occurred in 8 (20 %) patients, 12.5 % of patients from the first group were hospitalized for parenteral antibiotic therapy. The average length of stay in hospital was 3.4 ± 1.45 days. In all cases, in the first group of patients, Escherichia coli was detected, in 70 % of cases fluoroquinolone-resistant strain of the bacterium was received. In the second group of patients no hospitalization was required. One (2.5 %) patient out of forty from this group showed signs of urinary tract infection, which was not accompanied by an increase of body temperature, as well as changes in blood and urine tests.Conclusions. Our results show good effectiveness and safety of combined antibiotic prophylaxis for transrectal prostate biopsy. Since fluoroquinolone resistance grows, it is necessary to introduce alternative schemes, as well as monitoring of nosocomial infection and controlling of antimicrobial therapy.

Aims:  This study aimed to determine the prevalence rates of transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy-related complications among patients receiving treatment at the large tertiary-care urology clinic of Kingston Public Hospital (KPH), Jamaica. Study Design: Prospective cohort study. Place and Duration of Study: Kingston Public Hospital (KPH), Jamaica from July 2018 to April 2019. Methodology: Our study population included men who underwent prostate biopsy at KPH. Data on demographics and clinical characteristics were collected using purpose-designed questionnaires from consenting patients who underwent prostate biopsy during the stated period. Patients were then followed up for complications 30 days post biopsy. Details regarding hospitalization due to biopsy-related complications were obtained from the medical records. Results: Data from 185 men were included in the final analysis. Among the patients biopsied, 49% were diagnosed with prostate cancer, while 72% experienced at least one complication, mainly non-infectious complications such as hematuria (46%), lower urinary tract symptoms (24%), rectal bleeding (23%), hematospermia (9%), and urinary retention (16%). Overall, a 15% risk of developing infectious complications was observed, with 9% experiencing fever and 3% experiencing both urinary tract infection and epididymo-orchitis. Our data showed a 6% hospitalization rate within 30 days, with all available records suggesting infectious complications. One death from a prostatic abscess was noted. The present study showed that most prostate biopsy complications were minor. Moreover, although bleeding and infectious complications as well as hospitalization rates were consistent with those reported in larger series, our population experienced a slightly higher mortality and urinary retention rate. Conclusion: Overall, our results showed that prostate biopsies performed within our institution are generally safe and well tolerated. Nonetheless, further studies are needed to determine whether morbidity of the procedure remains acceptable.
