- Abstract
Urosepsis is the most common complication requiring hospital admission after transrectal biopsy of the prostate. This study aims to assess the local incidence and causative organisms of hospital admissions with urosepsis after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate (TRUS) biopsy. As morbidity is high, treatment must be commenced empirically prior to cultures. A review of bacterial antibiotic susceptibilities was undertaken to guide optimal treatment of post-biopsy urosepsis.
