Azoospermia was diagnosed in six factory workers who had been chronically exposed to 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane. Infertility was the presenting symptom in two patients and a decrease in libido or impotence characterized the others. Hormone studies revealed elevated plasma follicle-stimulating hormone levels and normal plasma luteinizing hormone and testosterone concentrations. Testicular biopsy showed selective atrophy of the germinal epithelium, intact Sertoli cells, and a normal appearance of a relatively increased number of Leydig cells.
