Abstract: Seminal fluid from 782 Nigerian males with complaints of infertility were examined with respect to infective agents and indices such as sperm count, motility and the presence of a significant number of pus cells. Various infective agents were recovered from 54 (7%) of the patients, while in 25% of the remaining patients, a significant number of pus cells was present, with associated abnormal seminal fluid indices. Our findings indicate that seminal fluids constitute an important medium for the spread of various infective agents, and that genital infections by these infective agents, sexually and non-sexually transmitted, may be responsible for a good percentage of infertility eases in Nigerian males.
