negatively impacting the transferred embryo or endometrial receptivity.
Chlamydia trachomatis is widespread sexually transmitted infection.

Chlamydia trachomatis infection in infertile females undergoing ICSI and its
impact on clinical pregnancy rate.

fertilization in cases with no explained or correctable cause. As the capacity
of ICSI has permit almost any type of spermatozoa to fertilize oocytes, so it
is considered also the most successful technique in cases of male factor
