Abstract

Aim: The study tries to highlight the implication of CT infection in male infertility. Material and methods: There were 857 male patients enrolled in the study. The male cases have been investigated in the Gynecology and Urology Department of Ghencea Medical Center, Bucharest. All the selected cases have been done a spermogram test and for the diagnosis of the Chlamydia Trachomatis infection, the ELISA test was used. The test detects the presence in the serum of the anti-chlamydia specific antibodies of type IgA, IgM, IgG (BAG-Chlamydia-AIA). Results and discussions: From the total of the investigated subjects, only 233 cases had a modified spermogram. According to the specialty literature, the human factor is involved in 35% of the infertility cases, the male one in 30%, in 20% both factors are involved and in 15% of the cases, there is no incriminating cause after complete investigations. Accordingly, the study supports the literature data.
