dc.description.abstractObjective To show that the fluids obtained from spermatoceles and epididymal cysts are not infected, even though they may be present for long periods, and that these fluids have bactericidal activity. Materials and methods Sixteen patients, 13 with a spermatocele and three with an epididymal cyst, were included in the study. Protein, glucose, chloride, inorganic phosphorus, calcium and magnesium contents were measured and cultures of the fluids were carried out. Bactericidal activity against the Escherichia coli NTCC 10418 clone was tested in different dilutions. Results Biochemical analysis showed that the protein, glucose and ionic content of the fluids was lower than that of serum, except for chloride. Microbiological cultures were negative for all samples. A significant bactericidal effect was obtained with 1/1 dilution and no reproduction was seen with this dilution. Conclusion These findings indicate that the fluids within spermatoceles and epididymal cysts do not become infected under normal circumstances. Copyright © 1995, Wiley Blackwell.
