title: Calcium, zinc, magnesium, concentration in seminal plasma of infertile men with prostatitis.
abstract: Seminal plasma, Zinc, Magnesium and Calcium concentrations were evaluated in 15 infertile men with chronic prostatitis and in 10 controls. Highly significant difference (p less than 0,01) was observed in Calcium concentration only in the group of bacterial prostatitis with respect to the controls. The possible significance of these data is suggested.
