[Chlamydia infection and female low fertility in Morocco].

Chlamydia trachomatis infection is recognised as the most common asymptomatic sexually transmitted disease, and this may lead to severe complication including infertility. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the part that this pathology takes in the female hypofertility, using serologic, cell culture, and histopathologic tests. Some of the women had undergone biopsies during coelioscopic exam, the others during salpingectomy. Cervical specimens were carried from other women. They had as clinical signs: primary or secondary infertility, ectopic pregnancy, syndrome of synechie, hydrosalpinx, or pelvic pains. 128 of these women had undergone serologic exam, 57 a cell culture, and 47 an histopathologic test. The results showed that 26% had anti Chlamydia trachomatis antibodies and 46% from them with tubal problems confirmed, had anti Chlamydia trachomatis antibodies as well, only 7% had cell culture positive from cervix specimens, none from the biopsies, and 73% of them had inflammatory responses. All women with inflammatory responses had a serologic and/or cell culture positive tests. Our results allow us to conclude that this infection takes a good part in female hypofertility, there is a correlation between a previous Chlamydia trachomatis infection and a tubal histopathology. In front of the difficulties of isolation by cell culture the detection of the microorganism by molecular biology assays may resolve a lot of problems.

[Chlamydial infections and male infertility in Morocco].

Chlamydia trachomatis infection of the lower genital is recognised as the most common sexually transmitted disease, is role in male infertility is controversial, the objective of this study was to evaluate the part that this pathogen agent takes in male infertility among maroccan population, to compare serological tests, sperm abnormalities, antisperm-antibodies and DNA research in semen. Microimmunofluorescence (MIF) was done for 139 patients, 124 were checked for sperm abnormalities, 87 for antisperm-antibodies and 92 for DNA research in sperm. The results showed that MIF is positive in 24,5%, 11% of the subjects in antisperm antibodies, 8% of them simultaneously in anti-Chlamydia and antisperm antibodies and 5 of them had sperm abnormalities. Azoospermy was more observed in positives subjects in Chlamydia trachomatis antibodies. C. trachomatis DNA was found in 7,6% and there was no association between the detection of C. trachomatis in semen specimens and the presence of anti-Chlamydia trachomatis, antibodies in serum. We conclude that, because of the complexity of the Chlamydia's physiopathology, association between several tests is necessary in male infertility workup.

[Reccurent abortions: unpublished syndrome suggesting the explanation of fetal death].

A report is given of 8 cases of recurrent "idiopathic" abortions sharing in common the following features, unreported so far: (1) high uterine arterial impedance; (2) decrease in endometrial thickness, in spite of normal hormonal and endometrial cycle at biopsy; (3) a history of previous curettages. Such a syndrome could be consistent with the existence of a narrow peripheral symphysis of the uterine cavity, unaffecting its shape at hysterography.

[Abdominal pregnancy. Apropos of 7 cases collected between 1978 and 1986].

The authors point out, following a study of 7 cases of abdominal pregnancy, how necessary it is to make a diagnosis early and to use ultrasonography routinely whenever there is the slightest abnormality in the progress of the pregnancy, such as absence of strong fetal movements or failure of the abdominal contents to grow rapidly. The treatment is surgical and the placenta should as far as possible be removed completely because serious complications both of infection and haemorrhage can occur if the placenta is only partially removed. These complications can pose a great threat to the mother.

[Hemorrhagic hepatic lesions in toxemia of pregnancy].

One case of hepatic hemorrhage during toxemia of pregnancy is reported. This complication occurs in the last trimester of the pregnancy or immediately after labor. The diagnosis is usually made per-operatively. The anatomical lesions are subcapsular hematomes or spontaneous rupture of the liver. Surgery is only treatment and must be conservative. The very high mortality rate has generally been attributable not only to uncontrolled hemorrhage but also to disorders of hemostasis associated and to multiple organe failure.
