Abstract
Material and methods. We studied in vitro production of marker cytokines of type 1 T-helpers (IL-2), type 2 T-helpers (IL-4), type 3 T-helpers TGFb and type 1 T-regulators (IL-10) and counted CD4+CD25+ T-cells in the blood of patients with recurrent herpetic infection and having no clinical manifestations of Herpes virus reactivation.
Results. Patients with recurrent herpes had more active production of IL-10, but reduced count of CD4+CD25+ lymphocytes.
Conclusion. IL-10 hyperproduction observed in recurrent herpetic infection may contribute to progression of rheumatoid arthritis.
