A prospective study was carried out on 63 patients and 23 controls. We cultured the first voided urine, semen and swabs taken from the anterior urethra of these patients and controls for bacteria, chlamydia. Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis. Two techniques were used for chlamydial isolation and identification. These involved the use of chlamydial culture on McCoy cells with culture confirmation test and the direct fluorescent identification of Chlamydiatrachomatis. The all-liquid media (MYCOFAST ALL-IN) kits were used for the identification of mycoplasma. Our results indicate that there is a significantly higher incidence of genital infection among male patients with idiopathic infertility than in normal fertile controls (P=0.0004). Extensive microbial investigations are indicated when genital infection is suspected to be the cause of the fertile state or cannot be ruled out as a possible cause in case of idiopathic infertility  ISSN : 0256-4947  Journal Name : Annals of Saudi Medicine  Volume : 16  Issue Number : 1  Publishing Year : 1416 AH 1996 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Friday, April 1, 2011  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email هشام موصلي Mosli, Hisham Investigator Doctorate   فاتن قزاز Gazzaz, Faten Researcher Doctorate   حسن فارسي Farsi, Hasan Researcher Doctorate   حسان عبدالجبار AbdulJabbar, Hassan Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  29466.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
