With the increasing demand for assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs), it is important to consider how to manage infection. Three main positive factors that contribute to successful in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles are maternal age, the ovarian hyperstimulation protocol used, and the number and quality of transferred embryos. Negative factors include contamination and infection. This paper describes the issues relating to infection during IVF and proposes guidelines to control infection and to increase laboratory safety.
