Anticuerpos antiespermatozoide en la infertilidad

Abstract

52 infertil couples were studied by means of the Kibrick macro-aggutination test for circulating anti-spermatozoa antibodies. 33 of them consulted for primary infertility (63.6%) and 19 (36.5%) for secundary infertility, 46.1% of the females had antibodies against spermatozoa with titers ranging from 1:16 to 1:128; only 3.8% from de control group had such antibodies. The frecuency of circulating antibodies was higher for the group of primary infertility (51.5%) than for the group of secundary intertility (36.8%). Only 12 men from the 52 couples studied had circulating antiespermatozoa antibodies with titers equal or less than 1:16; no relation was found between these antibodies and the spermatogram. No significant relation was found between gynecological and obstetric antecedents and circulating anti-spermatozoa antibodies.
