Diagnosis and classification of syndrome is based on patient´s symptoms, evidence of ethiological agent and inflammation in prostate or in secretions produced by gland.

This first of four articles review current knowledge about aethiology, patophysiology and diagnosis of the prostatic inflammatory syndrome.
