Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Seropositive Men in Serodiscordant Couples: Effects on the Assisted Reproductive Outcomes

Abstract: Purpose: To evaluate the influence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in men of serodiscordant couples on the reproductive outcomes. Materials and Methods: A total of 134 infertile couples were included in this retrospective single-center cohort study. Sixty-six couples had hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-seropositive men and seronegative partners, while 68 couples were controls with both seronegative men and women. Overall, 134 fresh in-vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) t… Show more

“…Likewise, as shown by a recent study, the presence of HBsAg in serum of men belonging to serodiscordant couples has been demonstrated to affect significantly total sperm fertilisation capacity, thus reducing the total FR (Cito, Coccia, Fucci, Picone, Cocci, Russo, et al., 2019; Cito, Coccia, Fucci, Picone, Cocci, Sessa, et al., 2019).…”

“…Indeed, several viruses can colonise the genital tracts and semen, generating effects extremely important in terms of organ integrity and changes in the reproductive and endocrine systems. In particular, HIV and HCV infections proved to be able to reduce progressive sperm motility, in comparison with normozoospermic healthy seronegative controls (Cito, Coccia, Fucci, Picone, Cocci, Russo, et al., 2019; Cito, Coccia, Fucci, Picone, Cocci, Sessa, et al., 2019).…”
