Abstract

Prostatic fluid taken from 1038 cases of chronic prostatitis were detected by fluorescent monoclonal antibody technique and isolating cultural method for Chlamydia Trachomatis (CT) and Ureaplasma Urealyticum (UU). The control group consisted of 80 cases. CT and UU were not found in control group. The positive rates of CT and UU infection were 28.4% and 33.0% respectively in the tested group whose cases were abacterial prostatitis. The results suggested that CT and UU are pathogens causing chronic abacterial prostatitis.
