title: In vitro fertilization pregnancy in a patient with proven chronic endometritis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report an in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy in a patient with histologically confirmed chronic endometritis before the IVF treatment without prior antibiotherapy.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Academic reproductive medicine unit.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 30-year-old woman with primary infertility due to mild oligoasthenoteratospermia of the male partner.
  
  
  METHODS
  Diagnostic hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy.
  
  
  METHODS
  Delivery after the first IVF.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Histologic examination of the endometrium revealed chronic endometritis. The patient delivered a healthy boy at 40 weeks' gestation after the first IVF treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our findings suggest that the impact of chronic endometritis on infertility and IVF outcome should be further investigated in prospective randomized studies.
