It is in Africa that sterility of infectious etiology is prevalent: 75% to 85% of female sterility, primary as well as secondary, are the consequence of a pelvic infection. This picture is explained by the high prevalence of genital infections caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae and by Chlamydia trachomatis in a sanitary under-developed environment. Frequency of such sterilities is such as fecundity rates are significantly reduced.
