[Circulating sperm antibodies in prostitutes (author's transl)].
Spermatozoa antibodies are found uncommonly frequently in prostitutes both with regard to the spermatozoa immunofluorescence test and also sperm immobilisation. This is also true to a similar extent for the sperm immunofluorescence test in a group of women from infertile marriages, but not, on the other hand for the immobilisation test, in which the frequency of positive results in this group of women was significantly lower than in prostitutes. The outcome of comparative tests in virgins and fertile women were negative. The correlation of positive results in the sperm immobilisation test and in the sperm immunofluorescence test is strikingly small, so that a variable conclusiveness is to be assumed. Presumably, in the presence of sperm antibodies the probability of conception is reduced.
