Deadly Infections Linked to Prostate Exams: Reports May 12, 2011 Staff Writers Add Your Comments The findings of several recent studies suggest that prostate exams may carry an increased risk of antibiotic resistant infections, which have sometimes proven to be deadly. Doctors are warning that prostate biopsies used to screen for prostate cancer have resulted in a number of cases of infections. In many of the reports, men whose tests came back negative for cancer later died of sepsis infections. One prostate exam infection report presented last year at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association indicated that nine out of 100,000 men who received needle biopsies died due to the infections. Ten similar studies on hospital-acquired infections from prostate cancer examinations are expected to be presented at the annual meeting in Washington on May 14-19.

See if you qualify for a hair dye cancer lawsuit settlement. Learn More SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION Investigators think that the ultrasound-guided needles used during tissue biopsies in prostate exams are transporting bacteria from the bowel deeper into the body, such as the prostate, bladder or bloodstream. The infections are increasingly caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which can cause sepsis. The ultrasound needles move through the bowels multiple times on their way to the prostate during the 15-minute procedure. Last year’s study found that 791 men out of 66,811 who underwent transrectal ultrasound prostate (TRUSP) biopsies were later diagnosed with urosepsis. Most had to be hospitalized. Studies increasingly show that the problem is becoming more and more common. Sepsis occurs when the body overreacts to an infection, causing the immune system to begin damaging the body’s own tissues as well as combating foreign bacteria. Currently, only about 70% of patients diagnosed with septic shock walk out of U.S. hospitals alive. That is because every hour that treatment is delayed lowers the rate of survival by about 8%, yet many hospitals fail to immediately diagnose sepsis and do not begin providing appropriate treatment for four to six hours. Symptoms of septic shock are often vague, including: Confusion Shortness of breath Increase heart rate Declining blood pressure Weakness Tags: Antibiotic, Cancer, Hospital, Infection, Misdiagnosis, Prostate Cancer, Sepsis Image Credit: | More Lawsuit Stories Up to 100 Suboxone Tooth Decay Claims Can Be Filed on Single Lawsuit in MDL: Judge March 17, 2025 GLP-1 Manufacturers Argue Gastroparesis Lawsuits Should Require Contemporaneous Diagnostic Testing March 17, 2025 Pedestrian Deaths in U.S. Have Risen Nearly 50% Over the Past Decade: GHSA March 17, 2025 6 Comments Michael October 24, 2011 Could a hospitalization due to sepsis (ecoli blood infection) resulting from a prostate biopsy result in a possible successful lawsuit against the doctor or hospital doing the biopsy?

Kenneth November 18, 2017 a few years back i got a physical and doctor recommended i get a prostate biopsy because it was enlarged. Two days later i was in intensive care because my kidney was shutting down.(right renal infarct). A team of doctors tried to determine how a blood colt or tissue got to my kidney. I was in intensive care for three days and the hospital for five(Floyd Hospital Rome Ga). The result for me was to have high blood pressure,Diabetes, and loss of most of my right kidney. Frederick May 1, 2020 I had a biopsy on August 17, 2017 at Dr.Grissom office because my PSA levels went up and my doctor recommended I have a biopsy to check for prostate cancer. After having the biopsy that night my wife called 911 because I had a fever of 105, chills, and was confused and disoriented. Once I arrived at the hospital my fever increased and my wife was told they were admitting me. That night I was diagnosed with E. coli bacteria in my bloodstream and throughout my body and UT infection. I stayed in the hospital for 11 days on some very strong antibiotics and almost died. The doctor at the hospital told me it was from the biopsy. Dr Grissom came to my room the next day and told me 2 of the 12 biopsies tested positive for cancer. The next day he came back to my room and said 4 of the 12 biopsies tested positive for cancer. Later I was discharged with an antibiotic I had to take for 30 days after being sent home from the hospital. Up until a few months ago, I thought I was cleared of the infection but another doctor told me the infection was still there when he did my surgery in 2018.
