[The characteristics of immunological homeostasis in women with sterility of tuboperitoneal and mixed origins]. / Osobennosti immunologicheskogo gomeostaza u zhenshchin s besplodiem trubno-peritoneal'nogo i smeshannogo geneza.

Immunologic homeostasis was studied in 272 women suffering from sterility of a tuboperitoneal and mixed origin. The detected drastic disorders of immunologic homeostasis were characterized by predominant disorders of primary immunity mechanisms (leukopenia, monocytopenia, lymphopenia, reduced concentrations of IgA and IgM, lysozyme and complement in the blood serum). Types II, III, and IV immunopathologic reactions to uterine tube tissue homologous antigen suggest their contribution to a chronic inflammatory process. A relationship between severity of morphologic changes in uterine tubes and degree of immunity defects and immunopathologic reaction manifestation was revealed.

[The role of chlamydial infection in the genesis of tuboperitoneal sterility in women]. / Rol' khlamidiinoi infektsii v geneze trubno-peritoneal'nogo besplodiia u zhenshchin.

The incidence of chlamydial infection in women with tuboperitoneal sterility is 49.5%. Clinically inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs in such an infection are characterized by a primary chronic course with frequent recurrences and involvement of the cervix uteri, urethra, internal genitals, with moderately manifest clinical symptoms. Therapy of chlamydial infection should be combined with individual selection of therapeutic measures with due consideration for the inflammatory process phase and site, for the type of pathologic changes, general and immune status.
