Comparative Study
[Significance of antibodies to herpesviridae viruses detectable in rheumatic diseases].
To assay antibodies to cytomegalovirus (CMV), herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 (HSV-1, HSV-2) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in rheumatic patients and to clarify clinical correlations. ⋯ In differential diagnosis of rheumatic diseases it is necessary to consider possibility of CMV and EBV infections. If these are detected, antiviral measures should be taken.

Comparative Study
[HLA-antigens and some pathogenetic aspects of reactive arthritis].
Investigation of associations of reactive arthritis (ReA) with histocompatibility antigens class I and II and determination of new approaches to assessment of association ReA with antigen HLA B27. ⋯ In HLA-B27-subjects optimal conditions exist for generalization of obligate parasites and favorable for production of facultative ones. The degree of association of ReA with HLA B27 antigens is dependent on adaptive features of microorganisms appearing in the process of evolution--obligaty and facultativeness of their internal parasitivity.
