PG - 317-325 LID - 10.36233/0507-4088-2020-65-6-2 [doi] AB - This review presents the data on the spreading of all known human herpesviruses (capital EN, CyrillicHVs) in female urogenital tract. According to the WHO almost 500 million people worldwide suffer from genital infection caused by capital EN, CyrillicHVs. capital EN, CyrillicHVs were detected in various inflammatory diseases of female upper and lower genital tract (vaginitis and cervicitis), in extrauterine pregnancy (in fallopian tubes), in infertility (cervical channel, endometrium and ovaries). Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV‑1) was identified for the first time in oocytes after failed in vitro fertilization (IVF). capital EN, CyrillicHVs produce negative effect on the entire reproductive process from conception to childbirth. It was established that HSV, cytomegalovirus (CMV) and human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) markedly increase the risk of spontaneous abortion, preterm birth and stillbirth. Intrauterine capital EN, CyrillicHV infection is a major cause of congenital malformations. Data on humoral and cell immunity in genital herpesvirus infections (capital EN, CyrillicHVI) are also reviewed. Intravaginal HSV‑2 infection changes cell composition of vaginal mucosa, i.e., together with cells mobilized from the blood, protective role is performed by resident memory T‑cells (TRM), natural killer cells (NK‑cells) and regulatory T‑cells (Treg) whose function consists in maintaining the balance of the activities of lymphocytes. Constant capital EN, CyrillicHVI spreading is largely explained by transition of primary infection to potentially reactivating latent form, since latent virus is unavailable to immune recognition and medicines. The genome editing system CRISPR/Cas9 can recognize and modify not only active but also latent viruses. The promising pilot results with the use of this system offer the possibility of developing innovative technologies for capital EN, CyrillicHV elimination and capital EN, CyrillicHVI eradication.
