To determine the efficacy of parenteral gentamicin versus povidone-iodine enema (P.I.E.) in preventing infectious complications, a randomized study was undertaken in 40 patients undergoing transrectal needle prostatic biopsy. In 69 per cent of patients not receiving P.I.E. bacteremia developed, and 32 per cent acquired bacteriuria; whereas only 19 per cent of patients given P.I.E. alone or in combination with gentamicin because bacteremic, and 9.5 per cent had postbiopsy bacteriuria. Thus, P.I.E. provided a safe and effective means for preventing most bacteremia and bacteriuria associated with transrectal biopsy of the prostate.
