Isolated Primary Tubercular Prostatic Abscess presenting as Pyrexia of unknown origin.

ABSTRACT

The genito-urinary tract is a common site of involvement in extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. However, an isolated tubercular abscess in the prostate with no evidence of disease elsewhere in the urinary tract is extremely uncommon unless the patient is immuno-compromised. We report an extremely rare instance of an isolated prostatic abscess presenting solely as pyrexia of unknown origin in a young male with no evidence of immuno-suppression.
