[B-lymphocytes in chronic herpetic and adenovirus eye infections].

Abstract

Concentrations of serum immunoglobulins and the number of B-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood were determined in herpes and adenovirus infections of the eyes. In severe forms of ophthalmic herpes the level of IgM was found to be high at the peak of the disease. In ophthalmic adenoviral infection and level of IgA was decreased. At the peak of the disease, the relative and absolute number of B-lymphocytes was decreased in severe forms of herpetic and adenovirus infections of the eyes. In the period between relapses the number of B-lymphocytes is completely restored.
