title: [Diagnostic role of interleukin-8 determination in chronic prostatitis].
abstract: Measurements were made of interleukine-8 (IL-8) levels in ejaculate, prostatic secretion, blood serum of 60 patients with latent chronic prostatitis (CP). These levels were higher in CP patients than in healthy subjects. A rise in concentrations of IL-8 in prostatic secretion and ejaculate correlates with other inflammation markers. This may indicate the degree of CP activity. No relationship between IL-8 levels in ejaculate and prostatic secretion, and large dispersion of this marker allow using this criterion for diagnosis in combination with other indices of local immunity.
