[The evaluation of secretory immunity under herpetic affection of oral cavity]
Abstract:
The study is based upon the results of clinical laboratory examination of 33 patients with diagnosis of recurrent herpetic stomatitis. The control group included 26 healthy persons. In patients with manifestations of herpetic infection of mucous tunic of oral cavity the pronounced abnormalities of indicators of secretory immunity (lactoferrin, secretory immunoglobulin A) correlating with hygiene index are established. At the same time, indicator of antiviral immunity (alpha-interferon) characterized by absence of significant changes in this group of patients.
