“…Today, many patients do not receive the recommended medical care that based on the best available evidence [ 5 ]. As there is surplus medical information everyday that can not be cached by healthcare providers, clinical guidelines created to endorse up-to-date evidence-based practice to improve patients' outcome [ 6 ].…”

BackgroundInfertility is defined as inability of a couple to conceive naturally after one year of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. It remains a major clinical and social problem, affecting perhaps one couple in six. Evaluation usually starts after 12 months; however it may be indicated earlier. The most common causes of infertility are: male factor such as sperm abnormalities, female factor such as ovulation dysfunction and tubal pathology, combined male and female factors and unexplained infertility.ObjectivesThe aim of this study is to provide the healthcare professionals an evidence-based management protocol for infertile couples away from medical information overload.MethodsA comprehensive review where the literature was searched for "Management of infertility and/or infertile couples" at library website of University of Bristol (MetaLib) by using a cross-search of different medical databases besides the relevant printed medical journals and periodicals. Guidelines and recommendations were retrieved from the best evidence reviews such as that from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (ACOG), American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society (CFAS), and Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG).ResultsA simple guide for the clinicians to manage the infertile couples.ConclusionsThe study deploys a new strategy to translate the research findings and evidence-base recommendations into a simplified focused guide to be applied on routine daily practice. It is an approach to disseminate the recommended medical care for infertile couple to the practicing clinicians.

“…La infertilidad, definida como la incapacidad de la pareja para concebir luego de un año de relaciones sexuales sin protección (10), continúa siendo un problema clínico y social que afecta del 13 al 15% de las parejas en el mundo (11), las causas más comunes son: el factor masculino dado por anormalidades espermáticas, entre otras; el factor femenino como disfunción ovulatoria y patología tubárica; factores masculinos y femeninos combinados, e infertilidad inexplicada (12,13).…”

Introducción: la infertilidad, problema clínico y social que afecta del 13 al 15% de las parejas en el mundo, es causada, entre otros, por la enfermedad pélvica inflamatoria ocasionada por varios agentes infecciosos entre los cuales se destaca la Chlamydia trachomatis. Este agente infeccioso posee mecanismos moleculares con los cuales modula la respuesta inmune del huésped y produce cambios en la célula infectada para permitir su supervivencia, ocasionando que la respuesta del sistema inmunológico se establezca en forma crónica, con la consecuente inflamación permanente y con ello secuelas como cicatrices y obstrucción de la trompa de Falopio. El objetivo de esta revisión es ofrecer una actualización de conocimiento en inmunobiología de la infección por Chlamydia trachomatis y su relación con la infertilidad.Materiales y métodos: se realizó una revisión de la literatura en diferentes bases de datos: PubMed/ Medline, Science Direct, Ovid, desde enero del año 1995 a enero del 2012, incluyendo artículos de revisión y estudios clínicos.Resultados: en la actualidad se sostiene que la inmunomodulación que caracteriza la infección por Chlamydia trachomatis, los mediadores inflamatorios implicados en la respuesta inmune, y la posible aunque poco estudiada susceptibilidad genética del huésped, se relacionan estrechamente con la génesis de la infertilidad por factor tubárico.Conclusión: la infertilidad causada por Chlamydia trachomatis tiene su origen en la respuesta inmunológica del huésped y en la modulación por parte de este agente infeccioso, lo que lleva a inflamación crónica, cicatrización y obstrucción de la trompa de Falopio.
