3, 4) the development of
oligospermia, hypoplasia, congested blood vessel and exfoliated tubules but normal leydig cells.
This substance appears to cause seminal disorders (
oligospermia, reduced sperm motility and abnormal morphology) and infertility in 60% of men [19].
We hypothesized that the infertile couples with male factor (partner with azoospermia and also
oligospermia) would be an ideal model to test the partner-specific protective immunity against preeclampsia as the women had no chance to develop adequate protective immunity via the partner's sperm exposure.Methods: This Single-center retrospective study included 508 infertile couples admitted to our IVF center between January 2001 and March 2008.
Reports obtained from eastern and southern parts of Nigeria stated that
oligospermia and azoospermia are the common causes of male factor infertility which has been attributed to bacterial infections.[3,4]
One study in an African nation reported that azoospermia was present in 31% (192) and
oligospermia in 69.40% (413) infertile African males (595) attending male infertility clinics.
