Abstract
A search for the CFTR gene mutations and an ultrasound imaging of the genito-urinary system are essential to the workup of these patients. The association of a semen volume less than 2Â mL, a semen pH less than 7.2 and a fructose less than 2 must point towards a minor form of cystic fibrosis and prompt the workup of genetic abnormalities and sudoral chlore testing. The results of the sperm extraction combined to the technical advances of IVF/ICSI allow excellent pregnancy rates of 66% for the companions of these patients.
