Abstract:
Dissemination of infectious inflammation was studied in experimental influenza and acute and chronic herpesvirus infections. The possibility of articular involvement into the infectious process was evaluated. Pathomorphological signs of changes in the articular tissue confirmed the effects of these viruses on the locomotor pathology. Results of virus infection simulation in experimental animals suggest this model for studies of the pathogenesis of diseases of viral etiology (including those with articular involvement) in humans.
