    Abstract:
    Human sperm samples from 46 men were evaluated for standard semen parameters by two trained technicians, according to WHO criteria. A computer-aided semen analyzer (CASA, HTM-IVOS) was employed. The overall mean coefficient of variation for the 2 participants and the 46 samples studied was 17% for the percentage of progressive motile spermatozoa (r = 0.77). Twenty-nine (63%) samples were classified as asthenozoospermia by both methods. From the studied samples, 12 (26%) were classified as asthenozoospermia by the subjective method and 2 (4.3%) by CASA (p =.01). The two methods do not provide directly comparable data.
