Abstract
569 infertile patients and 75 fertile men (donors of semen) were included in our study from 1985 to 1987. We compared the frequency of Ureaplasma urealyticum in semen specimens in these two groups: 40 infertile men (7%) and 4 donors of semen (5.3%) had U. urealyticum in semen cultures. This difference was not statistically significant. We concluded that U. urealyticum was not more frequent in infertile than in fertile men. We also report the results of semen cultures for other bacteria and the parameters of routine semen analysis in these two groups. All infertile patients infected by U. urealyticum were treated with doxycycline: the infection was eradicated in 77.5% of them.
