Özet
The authors evaluated transrectal sonographic (TRS) findings in 31 patients who had clinical and laboratory evidence compatible with chronic prostatitis. A comparative parallel study was also carried out in a group of 14 healthy volunteers who did not have any clinical or laboratory findings consistent with prostatitis. The TRS findings in these groups were statistically analyzed, and comparisons were made. There was statistical evidence that some of these TRS findings were consistent with, and almost pathognomonic for, chronic prostatitis.
