title: [Usefulness of counting leukocytes and round cells in determination of bacterial infection of semen in infertile men].
abstract: The authors measured efficiency of the determination of bacterial infection from the semen of infertile men. They compared the correlation of counts of bacteria with white blood cells (peroxidase method) and round cells in ejaculate. Seminal white blood cells counts (more than 1 x 10(5)/ml) correlated well with bacteriospermia (more than 1000 cells/ml), R = 0.4741, p = 0.0007. Determination of round cells in semen has no clinical value in prediction of seminal infection, R = 0.0153, p = 0.6022.
