title: [Infections risk in transrectal prostate biopsy. An experience of antibioprophylaxis at a single dose].
abstract: Prostate biopsy remains the key-test in diagnosing clinically-detected prostatic carcinoma. Easy and efficient, the transrectal approach is credited with major infectious risk. The authors report a conclusive clinical experiment on 180 cases with antibioprophylaxy by injecting a single dose of third generation cephalosporin.
