ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIVIRAL IMMUNITY IN P ATIENTS WITH TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA

The levels of antibodies to bacterial (tuberculin, staphylococcus, pne umococcus, streptococcus) and viral (herpes, measles, rubella, parotid itis, influenza) antigens were determined in 39 patients with trigemin al neuralgia (TN) aggravation of which 25 were untreated, while 14 had received a course of the cadaveric nerve specific tissue therapy. 46 healthy subjects and 31 patients with trigeminal neuropathy served con trol. The study proved that TN patients had significantly increased le vels of herpes virus antibodies (p less-than-or-equal-to 0.01). The ab ove tissue therapy stimulated production of antibodies to rubella and parotiditis viruses.
