Pregravid preparation is a long and complex therapeutic and diagnostic process related, among other things, to the elimination of the impact of chronic viral infections on the patient's body. A special role is played by herpetic and papillomavirus infections as a factor that increases the risk of not only a negative result of pregravid preparation, but also the development of malignant neoplasms. The effect of these viruses on the immune system as both monoinfections and mixed infections in combination with other viruses is unambiguously negative; however, it is characterized by a number of features that there is no consensus about.
Objective. To comprehensively assess humoral immunity responses in women with persistent viral infections during pregravid preparation.
Subjects and methods. A total of 149 young patients divided into 2 groups (a study group and a control group) according to human papillomavirus infection underwent estimation of the serum levels of cytokines (IL-10, IL-17), transforming growth factors (TGF-α, TGF-β1, TGF-β2), interferons IFN-β, IFN-γ, IFN-λ1 (IL-29), IFN-λ3 (IL-28), metalloproteinases (MMP-2, MMP-8, MMP-9) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-3).
Results. The authors established a multidirectional change in the level of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in serum, as well as hyperproduction of transforming growth factors, metalloproteinases and their inhibitors. The article separately highlights the role of interferons and also discusses the potential possibility of therapy with interferon inducers in patients with persistent viral infections during pregravid preparation.
Conclusion. The revealed abnormal levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, transforming growth factors, and metalloproteinases confirm that there is a difference in the characteristics of an immune response in young women during pregravid preparation, depending on which viral infections are detected in patients. Taking into account the findings, the authors consider it possible to use interferon inducers in the treatment of patients with persistent viral infections, especially in those with mixed infections.
