Abstract

Levels of prostatic specific antigen may be modified with procedures over the prostatic gland. We measured this antigen in 36 hospitalized patients before and immediately after a digital rectal examination. Antigen levels were 8.3 +/- 21.3 ng/ml before and 13.8 +/- 27.5 ng/ml after the examination (NS). It is concluded that digital rectal examination did not modify antigen levels in our sample.
