We encountered four prostatic abscess patients. Although antimicrobial therapies were ineffective, drainage was effective in all cases. Patient 1 had lung cancer and diabetes mellitus (DM), and patient 2 developed acute prostatitis after transrectal prostatic biopsy. Culture of the urine and blood revealed extended-spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) -producing Escherichia coli (E.coli). Patient 3 had previously sustained spinal cord injury, and urinated by self-catheterization. Patient 4 had untreated, severe DM. Patient 1, 2 and 3 had been treated by transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Patient 2 complained of ejaculatory incompetence after the surgery, and the symptom caused mental distress. Patient 4 was a 43-year-old man who had undergone transperineal needle aspiration under ultrasound guidance to avoid ejaculatory incompetence. The prostatic abscess disappeared in all cases after drainage without recurrence.
