Abstract

Mycobacterium leprae
Testicular involvement leading to impotence, sterility, and gynaecomastia is well documented in lepromatous leprosy. Rogers & Muir described the presence of M. leprae in the seminal vesicles. Bacteria were also demonstrable in the form of globi in seminiferous tubules of lepromatous patients. This report concerns a patient with lepromatous leprosy who showed the presence of M. leprae in seminal fluid.
