ABSTRACT
Transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate needle biopsy is the ideal method of obtaining prostate specimens for histological analysis and is therefore often used in clinical practice. In most studies, prostate biopsy is considered a safe procedure with few major complications. In the present report, we describe a case of endocarditis with spondylodiscitis, two very rare complications associated with prostate biopsy. In the present report, we describe a case of infective endocarditis (IE) with spondylodiscitis (SD), two very rare complications of prostate biopsy. Only a few cases have been described in the literature reporting IE or SD as complications of prostate biopsy.
