[Effects of immunocorrective therapy on immunological indices in patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis]

A total of 57 patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis were divided into two groups. The control group (n = 28) received standard treatment, the study group (n = 29) received treatment including immunomodulator likopid. The tests for IgA, IgM, IgG, compliment components C3, C4, circulating immune complexes were made, immunophenotyping of peripheral blood lymphocytes was performed, chemiluminescence parameters of whole blood and plasma, content of IL-10, TNF-alpha, IL-lbeta in seminal fluid were assessed. The detected abnormalities in parameters of systemic and mucose-associated immunity give ground for inclusion of immunomodulators in combined treatment of patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis.
