[Bacterial prostatitis--therapeutic principles].
The authors examined the possibilities of the treatment of bacterial prostatitis and yielded the following result: A medicament suited for the treatment of prostatitis must fulfil such chemical criteria, as they are at present to be found only in alkaline marcolids (e.g. erythromycin) and trimethoprim. Since trimehtoprim has a good spectre of action against gram-negative germs, it seems to be the suited remedy, for these pathogens are frequent and dominating in the pathogenesis of prostatitis. Gram-positive bacteria should be accessible to a therapy with erythromycin.
