This case report presents a case of secondary infertility, where the male was diagnosed with 100% necrozoospermia for nearly a year through several laboratory analyses and the couple has been seeking IVF treatment during that span of time. Upon referral, the andrologist diagnosed the presence of epididymitis and patient was placed on a course on antibiotics and antioxidants. Subsequent semen analysis after the treatment course showed considerable improvement of semen parameters.In this case, infection is one of the many causes of necrozoospermia and it is important for IVF professionals to assess the cause before proceeding for any invasive treatment for sperm retrieval for therapeutic treatment.Keywords
