Sperm count, or sperm concentration measures the concentration of sperm in a man's ejaculate, distinguished
from total sperm count, which is the sperm count multiplied with volume. Over 15 million sperm per milliliter is
considered normal, according to the WHO in 2010. Older definitions state 20 million. Sperm count is the focal
factor of conception and is threatened by variety of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Leukocytospermia is been
argued as one factor that decrease sperm count and quality. An abnormally high concentration of WBC‘s in the
semen is a condition known as leukocytospermia, also referred to as leukospermia, pyospermia or pyosaemia.
This research was designed to establish if a relationship do exists between seminal sperm count and
leukocytospermia. One hundred (100) apparently healthy men visiting the Microbiology Department of the
Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa for semen analysis from August 2012- March 2013 constituted the study
population. The study population was divided into two groups; non-leukocytospermic subjects and
leukocytospermic.The sperm count was assessed by improved bright-light Neubauer haemocytometer. The
research carried out correlating the relationship between sperm count and leukocytospermia was statistically
significant (P<0.05). Leukocytospermic samples tend to have decreases sperm count as compared to non
leukocytospermic samples. Also cases of aspermia were more rampant in leukocytospermic subjects than nonleukocytospermic
subjects. Leukocytospermia is a signal of inflammation and infection of the male reproduction
apparatus and hence Medical Practitioners should matter of urgency employ the appropriate treatment regime to
eliminate the causative agent.
