title: [Significance of prostatic biopsy in the diagnosis of chronic prostatitis].
abstract: It is reported on the importance of the prostate biopsy for the limitation of the prostate neurosis and the real chronic prostatitis. In own patients the tentative diagnosis "chronic prostatitis" could be proved histologically in only 8 out of 30 cases. We think the biopsy necessary in cases of chronic recurrent prostatitis, because the therapy depends extremely on the exact diagnosis and the complicating quota is relatively small in the prostate biopsy.
