OBJECTIVE	To observe the efficacy of the combination of Qilin Pills and levofloxacin in the treatment of asthenospermia accompanied with accessory sex gland infection .
METHODS	We randomly assigned 80 asthenospermia patients with accessory sex gland infection to groups 1 and 2 of equal number , the former treated with Qilin Pills + levofloxacin , and the latter with levofloxacin only .
METHODS	Qilin Pills were administered at the dose of 6 g tid for 30 days , and levofloxacin at the dose of 0.5 g qd for 20 days .
METHODS	We obtained semen parameters , including the percentage of progressively motile sperm and peroxidase-positive white blood cell ( WBC ) count , before and after medication , and compared the clinical effects between the two groups .
RESULTS	All the patients accomplished the clinical trial .
RESULTS	The therapeutic effectiveness rates in improving progressive sperm motility were 60 % in group 1 and 17.5 % in group 2 , with statistically significant differences between the two groups ( P < 0.05 ) .
RESULTS	As for the peroxidase-positive WBC count in semen , the effectiveness rates were 87.5 % and 82.5 % , respectively , with no significant differences between the two groups ( P > 0.05 ) .
CONCLUSIONS	For the treatment of asthenospermia accompanied with accessory sex gland infection , Qilin Pills combined with levofloxacin is evidently better than levofloxacin alone in improving sperm motility , and it has no obvious adverse effects .
