Specific humoral immunity in women with chronic frequently-recurrent genital candidiasis on the background of active cytomegalovirus infection
The features of a specific humoral response to C.albicans in women with recurrent genital candidiasis, depending on the availability of active cytomegalovirus infection. Established that the presence of cytomegalovirus DNA detection in blood is accompanied by a decrease of the synthesis of specific IgA and IgM antibodies to the fungus, the degree of reduction of the concentration of these antibodies in the serum correlated with the number of copies of the virus in leukocytes.
