The new methods for in vitro fertilization and GIFT induced the authors to carry out a retrospective survey on microbiological investigations done on 820 patients (641 women and 179 men) affected with genital infections and 62 newborns hospitalized during the period 1980-1986 to the aim of studying the prevalence of the various microorganisms responsible for sexually transmitted diseases in our area. The biological material obtained from men gave positive results less frequently than that obtained from women (p less than 0.001) although the prevalence of "significant" microorganisms isolated from the same material was overlapping for both sexes (p greater than 0.5). Chlamydia trachomatis positive samples were rare in men (6.1%) as well as in women (4.2%); in one case C. trachomatis was contemporaneously observed in the auricular swab of a newborn and from the cervical swab of the mother. Herpes Simplex virus positive samples were observed in 4 (11.8%) out of 36 women only. This study confirms the usefulness of the microbiological investigation before undertaking attempts for in vitro fertilization.
体外受精和配子输卵管内移植的新方法促使作者对1980年至1986年期间因生殖器感染住院的820例患者（641名女性和179名男性）以及62名新生儿进行了微生物学调查的回顾性研究，目的是研究我们地区引起性传播疾病的各种微生物的流行情况。从男性获取的生物材料得到阳性结果的频率低于从女性获取的材料（p<0.001），尽管从相同材料中分离出的“重要”微生物在两性中的流行情况重叠（p>0.5）。沙眼衣原体阳性样本在男性（6.1%）和女性（4.2%）中都很罕见；在1例中，在一名新生儿的耳拭子和母亲的宫颈拭子中同时检测到沙眼衣原体。仅在36名女性中的4名（11.8%）观察到单纯疱疹病毒阳性样本。本研究证实了在进行体外受精尝试前进行微生物学调查的有用性。
