Abstract:
:Four individuals with a complaint of infertility were evaluated after a semen analysis had demonstrated no motility. The semen analyses were otherwise normal, with the exception of a low count in one subject. All had normal percentages of living sperm. One of the individuals had chronic respiratory disease, and two others had a previous history of genitourinary infection and/or testicular injury. Three subjects possessed antisperm antibodies. Electron microscopy revealed a multiplicity of sperm tail structural defects seen in all specimens. Some of these data support the concept of acquired immotile sperm syndrome(s) with ultrastructural defects, as contrasted with the usual congenital forms of the immotile-cilia syndrome.
