Purpose
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of an empiric course of antibiotics for men with an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Change in PSA Level From Baseline [ Time Frame: At baseline and 21-45 days after randomization ]
To assess the impact of ciprofloxacin on the change in PSA from baseline/randomization to prostate biopsy which occurs 21-45 days after randomization.
Due to the skewness of the data, the log transformation was used and the outcome used was the log(PSA level post-treatment, at time of biopsy) - log(PSA level baseline).
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Overall Infectious Complication Rate Following Prostate Biopsy [ Time Frame: Within 24 hours of biopsy ]To assess the impact of ciprofloxacin on the overall infectious complication rate following prostate biopsy

Detailed Description:
Study Objectives:
Primary Objective: To assess the impact of ciprofloxacin on the change in PSA from baseline/randomization to prostate biopsy
Secondary Objective: To assess the impact of ciprofloxacin on the overall infectious complications following prostate biopsy
The impact of observation versus ciprofloxacin on PSA levels will be assessed by PSA change from baseline. The first PSA measurement will be at the study entry and randomization. The second PSA measurement will be immediately prior to prostate biopsy, which will occur 21-45 days following randomization.
