%X objective: to compare sperm morphology by testsimplets£¿ and diff-quik staining. to compare the efficiency of staining cellular peroxidase and testsimplets£¿ to assess leukocytes in semen. methods: we compared sperm morphology of 30 infertile patients evaluated by testsimplets£¿ and diff-quik staining. additionally, in patients with more than 106 round cells per ml semen (n=7), we compared the assessment of leukocytes by staining cellular peroxidase and testsimplets£¿. setting: fertility clinic unifertes, in caracas, venezuela. results: there was no significant difference in the percentage of morphologically normal sperm, according to kruger£¿s strict criteria, between both stains. we found significant differences in the percentages of the following sperm morphological defects between staining: pyriform head, folded middle piece, irregular and presence of cytoplasmic droplets. there was no significant difference in the assessment of leukocytes in semen by staining cellular peroxidase and testsimplets£¿. conclusions: testsimplets£¿ is practical for saving time and consequently, improving the efficiency in the delivery time of results. nonetheless, it is considerably more expensive than diff-quik.
