ABSTRACT = {We report the occurrence of an epidural abscess
following TRUS-guided prostate biopsies, which
highlights the fact that severe complications may occur
with this technique in spite of antibiotic prophylaxis.
Ciprofloxacin-resistant Escherichia coli is a frequent
cause of fever following TRUS-guided prostate biopsies
as was the case in our patient. Early suspicion of
the presence of ciprofloxacin-resistant Escherichia
coli may help avoid serious complications in these
patients.},
