Prostatic abscess is a rare entity with an incidence of 0.5% to 2.5% in all prostate diseases and usually occurs in the 5th and 6th decades of life with immunocompromised status,Prostatic abscess might be a process of evolution from acute prostatitis,Klebsiella pneumoniae is the leading microorganism in the diabetic patients of prostatic abscess in Taiwan,A 60-year-old diabetic man,with a one-week history of acute bacterial prostatitis was reported in this study,presenting to the emergency department with sudden altered mental status,The abdominal computed tomographic scan demonstrated lobulated prostatic abscess and multiple septic pulmonary emboli with lung abscesses,Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid showed white blood cells of 10 771 counts/mm3 with segmented neutrophils of 99%,Cultures of blood,cerebrospinal fluid and sputum yielded Klebsiella pneumoniae,We concluded that computed tomographic scan can make a definite diagnosis of prostatic abscess associated with complications and management with empiric antibiotics and adequate drainage is suggested.
