Objective: White Blood Cells (WBC) are commonly present in almost every human semen sample, but the
clinical significance of leukocytospermia, defined as more than 1 × 106/mL of WBC in seminal plasma, is not
elucidated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of the leukocytospermia with sperm characteristics
and biochemical markers of function of the male accessory glands in infertile men.
Methods: One hundred and eighty-five men with fertility problems were investigated. They were composed of
two groups, patients without leukocytospermia (n=115) and patients with leukocytospermia (n=70). The infertile men
enrolled in the study underwent semen analysis and measurements of fructose, acid-phosphatase, zinc and γ-
glutamyltranspeptidase in seminal plasma.
