The deficiency of vitamin D is connected with male infertility, diminishing rate and changing hormonal profile. Aim: this study purposes to evaluate the occurrence of vitamin D in azoospermic, oligospermic and normal fertile Egyptian and to correlate the different levels of Vitamin D with semen parameters (spermatic count, motility and abnormality) hormonal profile (FSH, LH, TT) and duration of infertility. Patients and methods: 30 infertile males were included. Semen analysis was performed according to WHO criteria. Different levels of vitamin D were detected using both Vidas and Elisa techniques, as well as the levels of hormonal profile. Results: Among 30 infertile males; 18/30(60%) patients were azoo/oligozoospermia and 12/30 (40%) fertile. Conclusion: Vitamin D levels in serum is correlated with male infertility. Almost fertile males showed higher levels of vitamin D in oligospermia and azoospermia. As well as semen vitamin D levels is also linked with vitamin D in semen vs count and duration.
