Popis: Relevance. Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a natural focal viral infection with a high probability of severe course, the possibility of death, a long recovery period after infection, low effectiveness of therapy and vaccine prevention. In the Russian Federation, HFRS is most often caused by the Puumala orthohantavirus. The aim of the study — to evaluate the immunophenotypic composition of lymphocytes and cytokine profile in the blood of patients with hemorrhagic feverwith renal syndrome in comparison with acute respiratory viral infections and with the prospect of developing immunological criteria for early diagnosis of HFRS. Matherials and Methods. There were examined the blood of 24 patients with a verified diagnosis of HFRS who were hospitalized in the infectious diseases department of the Samara Medical University Clinics and admitted in the first days of the disease, 18 patients with acute respiratory viral infections of established etiology, as well as 15 healthy people. Results and Discussion. Analysis of the results of lymphocyte phenotyping and cytokine levels in the blood revealed that the percentage of B lymphocytes in the blood was 12.6 %, cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes expressing the activating lectin receptor NKG2D (CD3+CD8+CD314+), 25 %, regulatory T cells with CD3+CD4+FoxP3+ phenotypes 7.8 % and CD3+CD8+FoxP3+ 9.5 %, as well as IL-6 24 pg/ml, TNFß 55 pg/ml, IL-10 11.3 pg/ml with high diagnostic significance, judging by the results of ROC analysis, indicates in favor of GLPS, but not ARVI. Conclusion. The results obtained can be used as criteria for early immunodiagnosis of HFRS. The development of a new hypothesis on the mechanism of CD8+ immunological memory formation may contribute to the discovery of new potential targets for HFRS immunotherapy and the creation of new principles for the production of vaccine preparations for the prevention of this disease.
