Infectious, inflammatory and ‘autoimmune’ male factor infertility: how do rodent models inform clinical practice?

10 Mar 2018

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Infection and inflammation of the reproductive tract are significant causes of male factor infertility. Ascending infections caused by sexually transmitted bacteria or urinary tract pathogens represent the most frequent aetiology of epididymo-orchitis, but viral, haematogenous dissemination is also a contributory factor. Limitations in adequate diagnosis and therapy reflect an obvious need for further...
