Oligozoospermia in Klinefelter's syndrome
Abstract
Case report of a 31 year old male with a 47-XXY-Klinefelter-syndrome which showed a maximum of 4,0 million spermatozoa/ml with a motility of up to 51% in his ejaculate. No rise of spermatozoa counts could be observed after 3x25 mg mesterolone/day over 8 weeks.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
