In vitro fertilization pregnancy in a patient with proven chronic endometritis.

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.
