[Study of virus content of Herpes viridae family in parotid secretion of patients with inflammatory-dystrophic diseases of salivary glands].

ABSTRACT

The study is devoted to disclose the interrelation between Herpes viridae family carriage and inflammatory-dystrophic diseases of salivary glands (SG). It was shown that inflammatory and dystrophic diseases of SG in observed patients run on the background of latent and active chronic herpes-virus infection. In the case the frequency of disclosure and content of antibodies to nuclear protein of Epstein-Barr virus in the peripheral blood serum in patients with different inflammatory and dystrophic SG diseases were statistically significantly higher and antibodies to simple 1st type virus and cytomegalovirus lower than in patients with different types of maxillofacial region pathology without SG involvement. The immediate contamination of parotid secretion by virus of Herpes viridae family was detected with the help of polymerase chain reaction in 18% of patients with SG diseases.
