IMMUNOGLOBULIN INDICATORS TO VIRUSES CYTOMEGAL AND GENITAL HERPES IN THE BLOOD SERUM OF WOMEN WITH NON-ATIPICAL ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPROLIFETATIVE PATHOLOGY.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of the study was to analyze the level of Ig M- and Ig G-antibody (Ab) for cytomegalovirus (CMV) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) in serum of women with non-atypical endometrial hyperproliferative pathology.

PATIENTS AND

METHODS

Materials and methods: The analysis of immunoglobulin indices to CMV and HSV-2 in serum of women with non-atypical endometrial hyperproliferative pathology. In women with uterine body polyps the presence of CMV in the uterine cavity was found in 54.8% of cases, in women with non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia in 38.3% of cases. The levels of Ig G-Ab and Ig M-Ab to CMV in serum have a clear dependence on the degree of antigen expression in endometrial tissue. HSV-2 antigens were determined in 22.58 ± 5.31% of women with uterine body polyps and in 8.33 ± 3.57% of patients with non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia while increasing serum specific antibodies to HSV-2.

RESULTS

Results

The results indicate that there is a clear link between viral infection of hyperproliferatively altered endometrium and the determination of positive immunoglobulin levels in peripheral blood, which may be a reliable marker of chronic persistent viral infection in a woman's body.

CONCLUSION

Conclusions

In women with uterine body polyps, the presence of CMV in the uterine cavity was found in 54.84 ± 6.32% of cases, in women with non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia in 38.33 ± 6.28% of cases. The levels of Ig G-Ab and and Ig M-Ab to CMV in serum have a clear dependence on the degree of antigen expression in endometrial tissue. HSV-2 antigens were determined in 22.58 ± 5.31% of women with uterine body polyps and in 8.33 ± 3.57% of patients with non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia while increasing serum specific antibodies to HSV-2. The results indicate that there is a clear link between viral infection of the target tissue (hyperproliferatively altered endometrium) and the determination of a positive level of peripheral blood immunoglobulin, which may be a reliable marker of chronic persistent viral infection in a woman.
