Chronic non-infectious orchitis was found in 8.1% of fertility-patients, who underwent testicular biopsy because of severe disturbances in spermatogenesis. The histopathological findings were characterized by a membraneous and interstitial orchitis. In these cases, the cause of the disease was unknown; but immunological abnormalities were found suggesting an imbalance of cell-mediated immune responses: all cases of chronic non-infectious orchitis showed a significant T-cell-deficiency.
在8.1%的不育患者中发现了慢性非感染性睾丸炎，这些患者因精子发生严重紊乱而接受了睾丸活检。组织病理学检查结果的特征为膜性和间质性睾丸炎。在这些病例中，病因不明；但发现了免疫异常，提示细胞介导的免疫反应失衡：所有慢性非感染性睾丸炎病例均显示出明显的T细胞缺陷。
