Abstract

Non-specific inflammatory diseases of the female genital organs (NIDFGO) are an important problem of modern gynecology due to their high frequency in the population, the tendency to frequent recurrences, and many cases of resistance to recommended antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Aim: to study indicators of immune status in women with different recurrence rates of NIDFGO and biomarkers of recurrences to improve potential therapeutic approaches and prevent recurrences in the further.

Materials and methods. A prospective single-center controlled non-randomized clinical study was conducted with the participation of 98 adult women. Out of them, 80 patients with NIDFGO had one-year recurrence rate of 1, 2–3, 4 or more events, and 18 age-matched women without NIDFGO were assigned to the control group. Immunogram and hemogram were performed for all study participants using standardized methods. Statistical analysis of the results was performed using IBM SPSS 23 statistical package software.

Results. The mean serum concentration of IgE in patients with frequent relapses was 3 times (p < 0.05) lower than that in women with only one recurrence, 2.6 times (p < 0.05) lower than that in patients with medium recurrence rate, and 3.4 times (p < 0.05) less than in the control. In women with frequent recurrences, the mean relative number of blood NKT cells was 3.5 times (p < 0.05) less than that in patients with only one recurrence, 2.3 times (p < 0.05) less than that in persons with medium recurrence rate, and 3 times (p < 0.05) less as compared to women of the control group.

Conclusions. Selective deficiencies of IgE and NKT cells in women with NIDFGO are factors that lead to a higher frequency of disease exacerbations per year. T he development and clinical approval of immunotherapeutic approaches to compensate for deficiencies of IgE and NKT cells in women with NIDFGO will contribute to the imposition of immune control over the inflammatory process, increase the effectiveness of antimicrobial treatment, resulting in a decrease in the recurrence rate.
