A clinical investigative study of 148 male leprous patients demonstrated the presence of testicular lesions in 35 cases. Semen analysis revealed marked oligo-athenozoospermia in 10 cases and azoospermia in 25 cases. Testicular biopsies from leprous testes showed different histologic patterns ranging from spermatogenic arrest to complete hyalinization of both seminiferous tubules and interstitial tissue. Histochemical staining for neurovascular supply revealed degenerative nerve change in addition to altered permeability of the testicular capillaries. There was good correlation between the results of semen analysis and histological and histochemical examination of testicular biopsies.
一项对148例男性麻风患者的临床调查研究表明，35例存在睾丸病变。精液分析显示，10例有明显少精子症，25例无精子症。麻风睾丸的活检显示了不同的组织学模式，从生精停滞到曲细精管和间质组织完全玻璃样变。神经血管供应的组织化学染色显示，除了睾丸毛细血管通透性改变外，还有神经退行性变。精液分析结果与睾丸活检的组织学和组织化学检查结果之间存在良好的相关性。
