Abstract
The article presents modern aspects of the state of immunity in women with latent papillomavirus infection (PVI) of the cervix. The objective: the study of the indicators characterizing the state of immunity in women with latent PVI of the cervix, often associated with urogenital infections (UGI), at the beginning of the survey and after 6 months of observation. Patients and methods. The study of cellular and humoral immunity was performed in 210 women with latent papillomavirus infection (PVI) and 15 healthy women at the beginning of the examination and 6 months later. 84 women were diagnosed with a monoinfection, 126 had a combined PVI and a urogenital infection (UGI). In 140 women transient PVI is established, in 70 – persistent. Results. In women with latent cervical pylori cervix, disorders of cellular immunity were observed (a slight decrease in the relative amount of CD3+, CD4+ lymphocytes and a simultaneous increase in the number of CD8+ lymphocytes, natural killers and B-lymphocytes) against the background of activation of the humoral immunity unit. Nonspecific protection of the female body with PVI was characterized by inhibition of the phagocytic reaction of neutrophils (Nf) and monocytes (Mg) against the background of an increase in oxygen-dependent metabolism, primarily HF, and a decrease in the functional reserve for both NF and MZ. The most pronounced disorders were found for patients with combined PVI and UGI. Conclusion. In women with transient PVI normalization of cellular and humoral immunity was observed, and the further persistence of the human papillomavirus in the genitals led to a more significant inhibition of phagocytic and HCT activity of phagocytes, as well as to a decrease in some parameters of the cellular and humoral immunity units. Key words: papillomavirus infection, cervix, cellular and humoral immunity.
