It is generally accepted that treatment of chronic infections of the male accessory genital glands must be long. For this reason the antibiotics used for this treatment must have not significant side effects. We have found from our previous studies that a rather high high percentage of chronic pro statitis is due to pathogens sensitive to cephalexin. In addition cephalexin does not have significant side effects. Thus it can be used antibiotic of choice for a high percentage of chronic infections of the male accesory genital glands, in contrast to clindamycin, which has more side effects and must be kept for cases insensitive to cephalexin, especially when anaerobic strains heve been isolated.
