Abstract
This guideline is supported by the Asian Association of Urinary Tract Infection and Sexually Transmitted Infection (AAUS). This is the second version of the AAUS guideline for acute bacterial prostatitis (ABP) (the first version has not been published). ABP constitutes a urologic emergency. It is uncommon and usually occurs in concert with a urinary tract infection (UTI) but can have a dramatic presentation. Many clinicians usually diagnose and empirically treat ABP. A correct diagnosis has therapeutic implications because ABP may require a longer treatment course than other forms of UTI and because the choice of antibiotic to complete treatment after fever subsides should be based on its ability to penetrate prostatic tissue.
