CLINICAL AND IMMUNOLOGICAL DISORDERS IN INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS IN CHILDREN

Abstract

The proportion of infectious mononucleosis in the structure of infectious pathology has increased markedly in recent years, this is due not only to improved diagnosis, but also to a true increase in the incidence of this infection. In recent years, Russian scientists have written many works on the study of infectious mononucleosis caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. Modern capabilities of the laboratory service make it possible to clarify the etiology of all variants of infectious mononucleosis. Accordingly, it was found that not only the Epstein-Barr virus, as previously thought, but also the herpes simplex virus type 1, cytomegalovirus and human herpes virus type VI can cause the clinic of the disease. Currently, cases of infectious mononucleosis are described, when markers of several herpetic infections were detected in a laboratory study of a patient. The question of the clinic of combined forms of infectious mononucleosis is relevant, since they create a potentially greater danger to the health of patients in comparison with mono-infection.
