Hepatitis C transmission after prostate biopsy.

Prostate biopsy is a current and well-codified procedure; antibiotic prophylaxis and rectal enema limit the risk of infection. To date, there has been no reported viral transmission between patients due to a contaminated ultrasound probe. In this study, we report the case of a patient who contracted the hepatitis C virus after transrectal prostate biopsy as part of an individual screening for prostate cancer.

[A case of hepatitis C virus possible transmission following a transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy].

The prostate biopsy is a current and well-codified act. To date, there have been no reported risks of viral transmission between patients linked to contaminated ultrasound probe. We report the case of a patient having contracted the virus of hepatitis C after transrectal prostate biopsy during an individual screening of prostate cancer.

A direct comparison of the diagnostic accuracy of three prostate cancer nomograms designed to predict the likelihood of a positive initial transrectal biopsy.

Background: Several tools have been developed to predict the outcome of prostate biopsies performed to diagnosis prostate cancer (PCa). However, few studies have focused on the comparative accuracy of these predictive tools. We aim to establish the predictive accuracy of three commonly used nomograms by comparing their prostate biopsy outcome predictions with actual pathological results.
