IMMUNOLOGICAL INDICATORS OF VIRAL INFECTION IN PATIENTS WITH LICHEN PLANUS OF THE ORAL MUCOSA

Аннотация

Herpesviruses (cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and herpes simplex virus (HSV)) after primary infection in childhood, they persist in the body throughout life and are reactivated under the influence of various exogenous and endogenous triggers. Persistent herpesvirus infection causes pronounced clinical and immunological changes in many somatic and dental diseases. However, few and contradictory studies have studied the effect of herpesvirus infection on the development and clinical course of lichenoid lesions of the oral mucosa (LSO), especially in relation to various types of herpes simplex virus (HSV), Epstein-Barr virus (EB) and cytomegalovirus (CMV).
