[The role of ureaplasmas in the development of male infertility].
The relationship between Ureaplasma titers and spermatozoa hypokinesia in the semen has been studied in 101 sterile patients and in 36 patients without ureaplasmas (a reference group). The spermatozoa mobility before and after doxicyclin therapy has been examined in the groups with low, medium, and high titers of the microorganism and in the reference group. The spermatozoa mobility has changed but negligibly after therapy in the reference group and in the group with low Ureaplasma level, in contrast to those with medium (p less than 0.01) and high (p less than 0.001) levels of the microorganism in the semen. The findings permit a suggestion that essential shifts of spermatozoa mobility may be explained in a number of cases by medium and high titers of Ureaplasma in infected ejaculate.
