Thirteen patients with asthenozoospermia and semen analysis suggestive of infection were studied and divided at random into 2 groups according to the antibiotic treatment they received: (I) ciprofloxacine 250 mg every 12 hours by 14 days per os (n = 7) and (II) trimethoprim 160 mg and sulfamethoxazole 800 mg every 12 hours by 14 days per os (n = 6). Their couples received the same treatment. Changes in sperm density, morphology, viability, motility, agglutination, pH, and presence of leukocytes were analyzed before and after treatment. The average of morphologically normal sperms significantly decreased after treatment in the ciprofloxacine group; sperm with grade III motility increased in the trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole group, but without statistical significance. With these preliminary results, it can be concluded that antibiotic administration modifies some of the spermatic parameters, particularly motility and morphology, in patients whose semen analysis parameters suggested infection.
