ABSTRACT
Eighty-eight infertile couples attended the infertility clinic. Semen analysis was abnormal in 64 cases. The cases were divided into 3 groups according to sperm countGroup I (count zero), group II (count < 20 million/ml) and group III (20-50 million/ml). The morphology of testicular biopsy categorised into 5 groups were normal--10(15.63%), hypospermatogenesis--42(65.63%), the Sertoli cell only syndrome--2(3.13%), maturation arrest--2(3.13%) and tubular hyalinization--8(12.50%). Quantitative analysis of biopsies was done using mean Johnson score(MJS) and Silber score(SS). The morphology in any single section was not uniform but of mixed type. Normal spermatogenesis in azoospermics indicated bilateral ductal obstruction. As compared to MJS, SS showed a more direct correlation between number of mature spermatids per tubular cross section and sperm count in unobstructed cases.
