[Content of ceruloplasmin and immunoglobulins of the main classes in the blood sera of patients with herpes virus infection].
In 35 patients with herpes virus infection (males and females aged 25 to 45 years) the content of ceruloplasmin and immunoglobulins of the main classes in the blood sera and the content of IgA in saliva at the stages of exacerbation and remission were evaluated. For control, a group of 35 healthy donors of the same ages were used. In patients with relapsing herpes virus infection even at the period of remission reliably higher levels of ceruloplasmin and immunoglobulins of the main classes were registered in comparison with those in the group of healthy donors. This was indicative of the fact that constant antigenic load caused by virus persistence and, in our opinion, could be regarded as a sign of unfavorable prognosis. At the periods of exacerbation a reliable increased level of secretory IgA was registered in a group of patients with rare relapses of herpes virus infection in comparison with a group of patients with frequent relapses, which showed that patients with rare relapses had a better immune response.
