Клинические проявления инфекционного мононуклеоза при первичной или реактивированной герпесвирусной инфекции

Based on the analysis of foreign and domestic literature, the article presents the features of infectious mononucleosis caused by the main pathogens from the Herpesviridae family, course of the disease at various phases of the infectious process. The article identifies clinical and laboratory manifestations characteristic of each pathogen. The authors discuss the issues related to the lack of the unified terminology for describing chronic herpes virus infection. The article discusses the causes of persistent herpes virus infections, risk factors for the adverse course and outcome of herpes virus infections.На основе анализа данных зарубежной и отечественной литературы представлены особенности инфекционного мононуклеоза, вызванного основными возбудителями из семейства Herpesviridae, течения заболевания в различных фазах инфекционного процесса. Выделены клинические и лабораторные проявления инфекционного мононуклеоза, характерные для каждого из возбудителей. Выносятся на обсуждение вопросы, связанные с отсутствием единой терминологии для описания хронически протекающей герпесвирусной инфекции. Приводится обсуждение причин персистенции герпесвирусных инфекций, факторов риска неблагоприятного течения и исхода герпесвирусных инфекций

Infectious mononucleosis in children: Clinical and laboratory characteristics depending on the disease etiology and phase of infection

Objective. To assess the association between clinical and laboratory characteristics of infectious mononucleosis (IM) and disease etiology and phase of infection. Patients and methods. This prospective observational study was conducted at Z.A.Bashlyaeva Children's City Clinical Hospital, Moscow Healthcare Department and included 107 children with IM. Laboratory testing was performed at the Department of Virological Diagnostics, National Medical Research Center for Hematology, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. Results. IM is a polyetiologic disease. So far, researcher have failed to find a significant correlation between clinical manifestations of IM and its etiology and phase of infection. Patients with IM caused by primary monoinfection with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) are at high risk of developing chronic EBV infection. Neutrophilia is a typical laboratory sign of IM during the acute phase of it. Conclusion. The improvement of IM diagnosis with a detailed evaluation of clinical and laboratory criteria, as well as risk assessment of unfavorable outcome are currently impossible without the identification of both disease etiology and phase of infection. © 2020, Dynasty Publishing House.
