    EVALUATION OF FUNCTIONAL STATE OF BLOOD PLATELETS IN PATIENTS INFECTED WITH ECHINOCOCCUS GRANULOSUS

    No full text
    Blood platelets actively participate in defense mechanisms of the organism. eg. in antiparasitic immunology. The study involved 17 patients infected with Echinococcus granulosus. Blood for analysis was collected twice, before treatment (E1) and after it (E2). Control group consisted of 30 healthy people. The concentrations of β-thromboglobulin and platelet factor 4 were assayed using a set of ASSERACHROM (Boehringer Mannheim) according to the immunoenzymatic method with labelled antibodies. The level of platelet factor 4 (before and after the antiparasitic treatment) indicates platelet activation by parasite

    Blood platelet are of crucial importance in hemostasis. Little attention has been paid to their bacteriocidal activity and their potential role in parasitic infections. Activation of blood platelets may result from direct contact with a parasite or IgE, IgG, complement factors, lymphokines, CRP. Blood platelets reveale cytotoxic activity through release variuos inflamatory mediators, phagocitic activity and cooperation with other cells of immunologic system. The precise mechanism of all platelet cytotoxic effects remains ucleare

    The immune system, its cellular and humoral response, is engaged by the host organism to fight against parasitic invasions. The group examined consisted of 38 women aged 19-39 years infected with Toxoplasma gondii. The diagnosis was established basing on serologic examination. Blood for analysis was collected before antiparasitic treatment. Control group consisted of 40 healthy women aged 18-46 years. The concentrations of IgM, IgG and IgE were assayed using a set of VIDAS (bioMerieux) according to the ELFA method. The concentrations of IL-5, IL-6 were assayed using a set of Quantikine human (R&D Systems) according to the immunoenzymatic methods with labeled antibodies. The present study revealed that in toxoplasmosis the concentration of IgE, IL-5 and IL-6 contents in blood serum was 2-times higher, than in healthy controls
