Abstract

The study was carried out concerning analysis of content of zinc ions, physical chemical characteristics, kinesiograms and leukocytes of seminal fluid of patients with urogenital chlamydias and healthy males (average age - 35±9.5 years). The detection of zinc ions was implemented using direct colorimetric test without deproteinization. The average content of zinc in patients with chlamydias infection amounted to 1.9 mmol/l. The correlation was established between content of zinc, alteration of mobility, increasing of content of spermatozoa and disorder of motion activity that demonstrates actuality of present study.

Keywords: chlamydia infection; mobility of spermatozoa; seminal fluid; urogenital system; zinc.
