No significant bacteria were isolated from cultures of the semen and preputial swab. Scrotal ultrasonography showed no evidence of testicular degeneration. Pre-treatment serum hormonal evaluation showed normal concentrations of follicle-stimulating hor-mone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), testosterone, thyroxin (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), prolactin and resting cortisol as well as low bicarbonate level.
