Objective: To report an in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy in a patient with histologically confirmed chronic endometritis before the IVF treatment without prior antibiotherapy.
Design: Case report.
Setting: Academic reproductive medicine unit.
Patient(s): A 30-year-old woman with primary infertility due to mild oligoasthenoteratospermia of the male partner.
Intervention(s): Diagnostic hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy.
Main outcome measure(s): Delivery after the first IVF.
Result(s): Histologic examination of the endometrium revealed chronic endometritis. The patient delivered a healthy boy at 40 weeks' gestation after the first IVF treatment.
Conclusion(s): Our findings suggest that the impact of chronic endometritis on infertility and IVF outcome should be further investigated in prospective randomized studies.
