Earlier, Yamamoto, one of the present authors, found a time-to-time abnormal increase in circulating eosinophil cells when massoge was applied to the prostate of some cases of non-goncoccal urethritis. The term “prostatic eosinophilia” (PE) was applied to this phenomenon. The present study was performed to determine the frequency of this dieease in 44 urological cases, including tuberculosis of the kidney.
Seven of the 44 cases (15.9%) were positive for “PE”, whereas eosinophilia was noted in 14 of the 44 cases (31.8%). The seven cases which were positive for “PE” consisted of 3 of the 14 cases of eosinophilia and 4 of the 30 cases without eosinophilia. Hence “PH” is not a phenomenon confined only to cases of eosinophilia.
