    Abstract:
    Male accessory gland inflammation may interfere with the reproductive potential and can result in the glands secretory dysfunction. Asymptomatic inflammations are difficult to diagnose. This study correlates the white blood cell count in semen to different biochemical markers of accessory gland function, e. g. zinc, citric acid, acid phosphatase, fructose, gamma-glutamyl, transferase to facilitate the diagnosis of asymptomatic inflammation. 230 patients were investigated using the WHO simplified protocol for the infertile couples (project N 84914). Basing on the semen leucocyte number, all the patients were divided into five groups. The semen and biochemical markers were analyzed according to the WHO guidelines including the regression analysis. The data obtained indicate that WBS in the semen correlates closely with reduced concentrations of seminal plasma citric acid and zinc.
