Overview
Prostatitis has been classified by International Prostatitis Collaboration Network, into 5 subtypes. This classification is done on the basis of timing of the symptoms and the presence of bacterial pathogens and other markers of infection and inflammation. The categories include acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis, inflammatory chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, non-inflammatory chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis.[1][2]
Classification
Prostatitis has been classified by International Prostatitis Collaboration Network, into 5 subtypes. This classification is done on the basis of timing of the symptoms and the presence of bacterial pathogens and other markers of infection and inflammation. The categories include:[1]
Prostatitis | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Acute bacterial prostatitis | Chronic bacterial prostatitis | Inflammatory chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome | Non-inflammatory chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome | Asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- Acute bacterial prostatitis: Acute symptoms with evidence of bacterial infection.[3]
- Emphysematous prostatitis: This is characterised by presence of air in the prostate. It is found in diabetic or immunocompromised individuals and Klebsiella is the most common cause.[4][5]
- Chronic bacterial prostatitis: Chronic symptoms with evidence of bacterial infection.[6]
- Inflammatory chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome: Chronic symptoms with inflammation but without any evidence of bacterial infection.[7]
- Non Granulomatous prostatitis: All forms of prostatitis without the presence of granulomatosis are included in this category.
- Granulomatous prostatitis: This type of prostatitis can result from a systemic granulomatous disease or malakoplakia or intravesical BCG for transitional cell bladder carcinoma. It has high PSA levels and may be confused initially with prostatic cancer.[8][9][10]
- IgG4 related prostatitis: It is the inflammation of the prostate in a person with IgG4 related disease.[11]
- Non-inflammatory chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome: Chronic symptoms with neither inflammation nor evidence of bacterial infection.[12]
- Asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis: No symptoms with evidence of inflammation (incidental finding).[13]
