Azoospermia in bilharziasis and the presence of sperm antibodies

H Abdel Aal et al. J Reprod Fertil. 1975 Mar.

Abstract

Sperm agglutinating, haemagglutinating and immobilizing antibodies were detected more frequently and in higher titres in the sera of azoospermic patients with urinogenital bilharziasis than in the sera of unaffected males. There is evidence that bilharziasis enhances the autoimmune response of the individual.
