Abstract

Ejaculates from men without known causes for male subfertility and asymptomatic for genital tract inflammation showed infiltration of macrophages, and their activation state (HLA-DR+) was negatively correlated with semen parameters and positively correlated with sperm DNA damage. An activation of the immune system is thus detectable in idiopathic oligoasthenoteratozoospermia of unknown origin. © 2011 by American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
