Aim of the work: the care of patients with a wound infection may seem conflicting, various diverse antibiotic preparations may be utilized after some time with an end goal to control the causative organism and a kwide range of treatment procedures might be utilized by various healthcare experts. With the approach of Independent (Supplementary) Nurse Prescribing Courses and the future potential for medical caretakers with reasonable capabilities to recommend antibiotics for patients with wound infections, there is a requirement for attendants and different specialists to review and update their insight into this vital subject.
While prostatic abscesses infrequently occur in adults, they are extremely rare in children. We present a rare case of a prostatic abscess in a 13-year-old male patient caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The patient had no significant past history and presented to our clinic reporting a two-week history of lower abdominal pain, foul-smelling urethral discharge, a burning sensation during urination with pain in the tip of his penis, and itchiness around the anus. On examination, we noted lower abdominal tenderness, and on per rectal examination, we noted tenderness in the anterior wall of the rectum. A culture from the urethral discharge was positive for MRSA. The patient was diagnosed with a prostatic abscess and was started on antibiotics. We performed ultrasound-guided transrectal drainage, and afterward, the patient's condition improved. He was doing well on the last follow-up. This case reminds physicians to consider prostatic abscesses in patients with lower urinary tract infections that do not respond to antibiotics.
