title: Immunology of chronic prostatitis: etiological and therapeutic considerations.
abstract: Immunological studies of prostatitis have developed from findings of antibody coated bacteria in the 1970s to the more recent studies of various models of autoimmunity. This review presents data suggesting that possible causes for prostatitis (bacterial or otherwise) may be explained under an immunological umbrella.
