title: [Special types of spermatophages in human ejaculates].
abstract: Since Wegelin introduced the notion of spermatophagocytosis in 1921 numerous elaborations on this subject have been published. But up to now there is no complete agreement on the origin of the individual spermatophages. Mononuclear as well as polynuclear spermatophages have been described. While for decades it has been clear that leucocytes in the female genital tract are able to phagocyte spermatozoa, these phagocyte types have hardly been described in human ejaculates.
