Hi,

The most common means of getting granulomatous prostatitis is due to a complication from treatment of superficial bladder tumors. Superficial bladder tumors can be treated with BCG, which is a TB vaccine.
One way to answer your question then, is to look at the experience of other people afflicted with a similar condition. The conditions that you have listed sound like descriptions, not clear diagnoses. Have you been diagnosed with tuberculosis? If you have there is some concern about tuberculosis that is primarily in the lung disseminating to other organs. Populations with a high incidence of tuberculosis have not consistently shown that tuberculosis readily affects the prostate. You made mention of a recurrent fungal infection. Fungal infections are not common among people with an intact immune question. A question then arises that perhaps you have some problem with your immune system. In such a case, it is more plausible to consider that dissemination is likely.
