Is semen polymorphonuclear leucocytes count a good predictor of male genital tract infection?

upper genital tract infection : A review

Upper genital tract infection causes inflammation in multiple organs such as endometrium, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and pelvic peritoneum. This type of disease is caused due to infection with cervical pathogens, such as Neisseria gonorrhea, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, bacterial vaginosis pathogens, and respiratory pathogens. The pathogens which involve the respiratory system a...

Rabbit Polymorphonuclear Leucocytes

1. The subcellular distribution has been investigated of a protease from rabbit polymorphonuclear leucocytes, obtained from peritoneal exudates. The enzyme, optimally active between pH7.0 and 7.5, hydrolyses histone but not haemoglobin, sediments almost exclusively with a granule fraction rich in other lysosomal enzymes, and is latent until the granules are disrupted by various means. 2. Enzymi...

Sialic acid in human semen and in the male genital tract.

Esterase of rabbit polymorphonuclear leucocytes.

Recently Cram and Rossiter (1) reported on the phosphomonoesterases of rabbit polymorphonuclear leucocytes. These cells also possess an enzyme capable of hydrolyzing the simple methyl esters and triglycerides of the low molecular weight fatty acids. As early as 1909 Bergel (2) claimed that lymphocytes from tuberculous pus, spleen, or lymph glands contained an active lipase, an observation confi...

A Case with Absence of Polymorphonuclear Leucocytes

gave a history of pain in the right testicle eleven years ago, and jaundice seven years ago. The first appearance of the abdominal tumour was preceded by severe pain in the left lumbar and hypochondriac regions. The patient felt the mass moving about in the abdomen and whenever it reached the hypogastric region he felt great discomfort and a sort of twisting pain. During attacks of fever of thr...
