Infections after Transrectal Prostate Biopsy: Report of Fourteen Cases
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract: Objective: After prostate biopsy, serious and life-threatening infections of resistant strains can develop and therefore fluoroquinolones for prophylaxis is widely used. This study aimed to examine infections in patients undergoing transrectal prostate biopsy with quinolone prophylaxis and to review the articles reported in this respect. Patients and Methods: In this study, 14 cases who followed for the development of infection after transrectal ultrasonography guided prostate biopsy between the years 2005-2010 at the Department of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology of Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital were retrospectively evaluated. Results: Ten patients (%71.4) developed sepsis, 3 patients (21.4%) urinary tract infection (UTI), and 1 patient (7.1%) acute bacterial prostatitis. In seven out of 14 patients (50%) bacteria growth was in blood culture, in 12 patients (85.7%) was in urine and in 5 patients (35.7%) was in both. E. coli was identified as the causative agent in all of the cases being the rate of extended spectrum of -lactamases (ESBL) in E. coli strains was 42.8%, quinolone resistance 92.8 %. Conclusion: This study suggested that fluoroquinolone resistant E. coli should be considered as an important causative agent in infections after transrectal prostate biopsy.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
