    Abstract:
    The study covered 116 infertile women in whom other etiological factors were ruled out, while 55 fertile patients served as controls. In infertile women, within the ovulation term, microorganisms of intestinal origin were isolated in 42.24%. Banal flora was present in 24.13%, while the saprophytic flora was verified in 21.5%. Culture media remained sterile in 8.62%. In the control group the differences are self, evident: the pathogenic flora was present only in 12.18% and the culture media remained sterile in 38.18%. In spite of the findings in the endocervix, the cervix was macroscopically normal in 54.31% of infertile persons. In patients from the control group, with regard to deliveries, pathologic changes of the portion were present in a higher percentage. The number of spermagglutinins in the serum was somewhat higher in patients from the infertile group in whom the infection of the endocervix was observed.
