Pseudomonas aeruginosa acute prostatitis and urosepsis after sexual relations in a hot tub.
We report a case of a previously healthy 38-year-old male with acute prostatitis and concurrent Pseudomonas aeruginosa urosepsis. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis confirmed that the source of the organism was the patient's newly purchased hot tub, which was filled with water from a stream.
