Abstract: 

Background. Infections in the urogenital tract are accepted causes of male infertility. Epidemiologic data indicate 6-10% of all males undergoing andrological work-up for infertility having an infectious etiology.

Topics. This review gives a comprehensive overview on the most important urogenital tract infections (prostatitis, epididymitis, orchitis, male accessory gland infection-MAGI) and the impact on fertility. In males suffering infertility, evidence is also presented regarding an infectious etiology.
