Urinary tract Infections ascend uro-genital tract and cause infertility. The organisms which had been reported as causative for infertility include mycoplasma pneumonia, chlamydia trachomatis , tuberculosis and rarely others. Here In, We present a case of secondary infertility caused by proteus species for ten years. The case was unique because all other investigations for secondary infertility were normal. The findings of this case suggest that clinicians should maintain a high index of suspension for infections as a cause of infertility.
