Thirty-two cases of male infertility in patients having leprosy were studied. One case was oligospermic and the remaining 31 cases were azoospermic. Pathologic changes in the testis and epididymis are described and illustrated. An important observation was the presence of obstruction in the tail of the epididymis in five cases and this obstruction was undoubtedly the cause of sterility in these five cases as the head of the epididymis was full of sperm and testicular biopsy was more or less normal. In the remaining 27 cases, the cause of sterility was testicular affection with fibrosis and hyalinization of the seminiferous tubules in most of the cases.
对32例患麻风病的男性不育患者进行了研究。1例为少精子症，其余31例为无精子症。描述并举例说明了睾丸和附睾的病理变化。一项重要的观察结果是，5例患者附睾尾部存在梗阻，而且这种梗阻无疑是这5例患者不育的原因，因为附睾头部充满精子，睾丸活检或多或少正常。在其余27例中，不育原因是睾丸病变，大多数病例的生精小管出现纤维化和透明变性。
