[Prostatic actinomycosis in a diabetic patient].
BACKGROUND
Prostatic localization of actinomycosis is unusual.


METHODS
We report the case of a 59 years-old diabetic man, hospitalised for a prostatic actinomycosis spontaneously fistulised in the rectum. Two species of Actinomyces were found in blood culture and in pus of the fistula.


CONCLUSIONS
Therapeutic management including surgical treatment of the fistula and a specific antibiotherapy led to cure the prostatic infection due to Actinomyces.
