Abstract

Introduction: Infertility is a common medical condition that is frequently encountered worldwide. The most common diagnosis of male infertility is idiopathic, accounting for 30% of the cases. Worldwide, infections are another important cause of infertility. The present study aimed to investigate whether BK polyomavirus (BKV) and JC polyomavirus (JCV) are associated with male infertility.Materials and Methods: From a university hospital, 80 semen and 80 urine samples were collected from men who applied to the infertility clinic and diagnosed as idiopathic infertility. As a control group, 60 semen and 60 urine samples were taken from healthy males who had fathered children. The detection of BKV and JCV was performed by multiplex real-time PCR.Results: JCV positivity was 62.5% (50/80) for urine and 40% (32/80) for semen in the infertile group. In the control group, JCV posi-tivity was 38.3% (23/60) for urine and 35% (21/60) for semen. Only one patient of the control group had BKV positivity in urine and semen. The difference of JCV positivity in urine between infertile males and control group wasstatistically significant (p= 0.005). In addition, mean viral DNA load of JCV was found significantly higher compared to the control group in both urine and semen samples (p< 0.0001 and p= 0.002, respectively).Conclusion: These results can be an important finding in elucidating the etiology of idiopathic infertility.

Özet

Giriş: İnfertilite, tüm dünyada sıklıkla karşılaşılan yaygın bir medikal durumdur. İdiopatik infertilite, erkek infertilitesinin en sık karşılaşı-lan sebebi olup, tüm vakaların %30’nu oluşturmaktadır. İnfeksiyonlar ise infertilitenin diğer önemli sebeblerindendir. Bu çalışmada BK polyomavirüs (BKV) ve JC polyomavirüs (JCV)’ün erkek infertilitesi ile ilişkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.Materyal ve Metod: Bir üniversite hastanesi infertilite kliniğine başvuran ve idiopatik infertilite tanısı alan erkeklerden, 80 idrar ve 80 semen örneği toplandı. Kontrol grubu olarak çocuk sahibi olmuş 60 sağlıklı erkeğe ait idrar ve semen örnekleri çalışmaya dahil edildi. BKV ve JCV varlığı, klinik örneklerde gerçek zamanlı polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu ile araştırıldı.Bulgular: İnfertil hasta grubunda JCV pozitifliği; idrar için %62.5 (50/80), semen için %40 (32/80) olarak bulundu. Kontrol grubunda, idrardaki JCV pozitifliği %38.3 (23/60) iken, semende JCV pozitiflik oranı %35 (21/60) olarak tespit edildi. BKV pozitifliğine ise sadece kontrol grubundaki bir hastanın idrar ve semeninde rastlandı. İdrardaki JCV pozitifliği açısından infertil grup ve kontrol grubu arasındaki fark istatiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu (p= 0.005). Ayrıca JCV’nin ortalama viral DNA yükü, infertil hastaların hem idrar hem de semen örneklerinde kontrol grubuna kıyasla anlamlı oranda yüksek tespit edildi (sırasıyla p< 0.0001 and p= 0.002).Sonuç: Bu sonuçların idiopatik infertilite etyolojisini aydınlatmada önemli bulgular olabileceği düşünüldü.
