Rezumat

Articolul expune date proprii și sinteza literaturii contemporane privind potențialul impact al infecțiilor tractului genital masculin, în special uretritele nongonococice asupra infertilității masculine. Studiul restrospectiv a inclus în total 200 de pacienți din cupluri infertile, cu o cauză inexplicabilă a infertilității, divizați în două loturi: 100 purtători de infecție cu transmitere sexuală și 100 pacienți fără infecție care au constitutit lotul de control. În ambele loturi au fost analizate datele spermogramei, statutul inflamator și markerii endocrini. La 37 (37%) bărbați a fost identificată o infecție unică cu Ureaplasma urealyticum/parvum, la 24 (24%) bărbați – Gardnerella vaginalis, la 32 (32%) de bărbați - Ureaplasma urealiticum/parvum asociată cu Gardnerella vaginalis, la 9 (9%) – Mycoplasma hominis și la 8 (8%) – Mycoplasma genitalium. Analiza comparativă a loturilor atestă diferențe statistic semnificative (p<0,05) în volumul ejaculatului, pH, numărul total de spermatozoizi, concentrația, mobilitatea totală, progresivă și vitalitatea spermatozoizilor, cu valori mult mai reduse în lotul de studiu față de lotul de control. Infecția cu Ureaplasma spp., unică sau în combinație cu alte infecții nongonococice, are un impact semnificativ asupra volumului ejaculatului, pH-ului, numărului total, concentrației, vitalității, mobilității totale și progresive a spermatozoizilor comparativ cu lotul de control.
