Considering infection/inflammation to be an important risk factor in male infertility and the frequent presence of pathogens within the seminal tract, the aim of this prospective study was to make a comprehensive evaluation of the prevalence of urogenital tract infection/inflammation and its potential impact on sperm retrieval in azoospermic patients undergoing testicular biopsy/TESE. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first prospective study which set out to comprehensively evaluate infection and inflammation in patients presenting with azoospermia using a 2-glass test and analysis of semen, testicular fluid and testicular tissue by measuring inflammatory parameters and performing systematic microbiological investigations. ./cache/cord-009360-rgwe2pkx.txt ./txt/cord-009360-rgwe2pkx.txt
