POSTER PRESENTATION Open AccessCouples infected with hepatitis viruses andassisted reproductive technologies: managementand outcomeAndreea Velişcu*, Bogdan Marinescu, Mihai Mitran, Marilena Băluță, Lucia Costoiu, Cristina DamianFrom The 9th Edition of the Scientific Days of the National Institute for Infectious Diseases Prof Dr Matei BalsBucharest, Romania. 23-25 October 2013BackgroundHow do infected couples (one or both partners) withhepatitis viruses and infertility achieve pregnancies? Weneed to assess the quality of embryos, sperm and pregnan-cies rates.MethodsWe performed a retrospective study in our clinic over aperiod of 5 years. We selected all couples infected withhepatitis viruses (one or both partners) that underwent anin vitro fertilization procedure or intrauterine insemina-tion. We studied pregnancy rates, birth rates compared toa control group and quality of embryos and sperm (ininfected males).ResultsThe sperm parameters are lower in infected men whencompared to the control group and there are fewerembryos for the infected couples, but pregnancies ratesare comparable between the two groups.ConclusionAll infected couples should have access to reproductivetechniques with normal pregnancy rates.Published: 16 December 2013doi:10.1186/1471-2334-13-S1-P110Cite this article as: Velişcu et al.: Couples infected with hepatitis virusesand assisted reproductive technologies: management and outcome.BMC Infectious Diseases 2013 13(Suppl 1):P110.Submit your next manuscript to BioMed Centraland take full advantage of: • Convenient online submission• Thorough peer review• No space constraints or color figure charges• Immediate publication on acceptance• Inclusion in PubMed, CAS, Scopus and Google Scholar• Research which is freely available for redistributionSubmit your manuscript at www.biomedcentral.com/submit* Correspondence: andreea_veliscu@yahoo.comClinical Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology “Prof. Dr. Panait Sârbu”,Bucharest, RomaniaVelişcu et al.
