Features of local immunity in women with endometriosis and genital infection

Introduction. External genital endometriosis is an inflammatory estrogen-dependent disease characterized by implantation and proliferation of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, accompanied by increased production of proinflammatory cytokines, prostaglandins, components of the complement, hydroly...

To study the peculiarities of local immunity in women with external genital endometriosis and genital infection pathogens.Materials and methods. 159 women with external genital endometriosis were examined. The total number of leukocytes, the absolute and relative number of viable cells, counts of neutrophils, macrophages and their functional activity, the level of IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IFNα, IFNγ, TNFα in the peritoneal fluid were evaluated.

In addition, HPV also correlated with a decreased IL-2 and IL-4 levels.Conclusions. The most prominent changes in the immunological parameters from peritoneal fluid samples were observed in case of detected genital infection pathogens, particularly HPV.
