This study analyses the impact of HPV infection for antioxidative state of pregnant woman, and the response of local immunity to this infection. In order to achieve this aim the following goals were: to determine HPV infection in pregnant women; to determine it’s types; to compare infection between first and third trimesters of pregnancy; to study the antioxidative system state during pregnancy due to HPV infection; to study interleukins (IL-10 and IL-12), which show local immunity, concentration changes during pregnancy due to HPV infection. Considering a high morbidity and mortality from cervical cancer in Lithuania, our established HPV infection in pregnant women and identified types of this virus enabled us to determine changed of HPV infection during pregnancy in high risk cervical cancer population. Also there is possibility to compare obtained data with that from authors in other countries. It is established, that women develop oxidative stress during pregnancy, and that its level did not depend on HPV infection. Changes of IL-10 and IL-12 concentrations in cervicovaginal washing fluid (local immunity) are related to Th1 and Th2 lymphocytes function, and depend on HPV infection. |
