This study evaluated the benefit of reflexive semen cultures in peroxidase-positive samples drawn from 17,142 consecutive samples analyzed, in which 4.7% (807/17,142) had leukocytospermia and 12.7% of those (103/807) grew significant bacterial colonies on culture. Considering the potential ramifications of the use of samples with bacteriospermia, we conclude that reflexive culture results are cost-effective and prudent.
本研究评估了对17142份连续分析样本中过氧化物酶阳性样本进行反射性精液培养的益处，其中4.7%（807/17142）存在白细胞精子症，其中12.7%（103/807）在培养中生长出显著的细菌菌落。考虑到使用有菌精样本的潜在影响，我们得出结论，反射性培养结果具有成本效益且谨慎合理。
