Popis: Objective: to study the characteristics of the functioning of the IFN system, the presence of autoantibodies to INFα in patients suffering from atypical chronic active herpesvirus infections (ACA-HVI) in comparison with patients with a typical course of chronic herpesvirus infections (CHVI).Materials and methods: under our supervision were 485 patients of both sexes aged 23 to 70 years, suffering from chronic herpes virus infections, of which 335 patients suffered from AHA-HVI and 150 people suffered from CHVI. The comparison group was 250 conditionally healthy individuals (CG). The complex of the study included methods for detecting herpesviruses: serodiagnostics, PCR-RT. The IFN system (spontaneous and induced production, serum concentration) was tested by ELISA. The study was approved by the ethics board and informed consent was obtained from all patients.Results: the incidence of various mono-mixed herpesvirus infections in patients with ACA-HVI (mono – 26,6% and mixed – 73.4%) and CHVI (mono – 23.1% and mixed – 76.9%) was determined, with EBV dominance in patients of both groups. Serum IFNα deficiency was detected in 100% of cases in both groups, and IFNα in 67% in ACA-HVI and 57% in CHVI. At the same time, significant differences were found between the ACA-HVI and HGVI groups in the level of IFNα reduction: 10 and 5 times, respectively, and for IFNγ – 2.0 and 2.6 times, respectively. The induced IFNα production decreased by 89.1% in ACA-HVI and 47.2% in CHVI. A decrease in induced IFNγ production is characteristic of 50% of patients in both groups. At the same time, the level of induced production of IFN α in patients with ACA-HVI was 9 times lower than in the control group and 4.75 times lower than in the group of patients with CHVI. And the level of induced IFNγ production was 2 times lower compared to CHVI and the control group.Conclusions: when assessing the state of the IFN system in patients with various chronic herpes virus infections, significant differences were revealed. Thus, the most pronounced manifestations of interferonopathy, consisting in a significant decrease in serum IFNα and IFNγ and defects in induced IFN production of both types, are observed statistically significantly more often in the group of patients with an atypical course of the disease than in the group of patients with a typical course of CHVI. The most pronounced disorders in the IFN system and the lack of recovery of IFNα and IFNγ levels in the interrelational period cause atypicity of the course and active viral replication in patients with ACA-HVI.
