title: [Use of Makler counting chamber in semen analysis].
abstract: Sperm concentration was measured using Makler counting chamber and compared with the concentration value measured by a classic method. Both values correlated well. The chamber contributes to a speedy, correct and simple semen analysis mainly because of no need of dilution of the semen. Viral infection to the examiner from the semen can also be avoided.
