Zusammenfassung:The article is considering certain features of immunopathogenesis exhibited in persistent viral infections, taking into account modern data and recently introduced immunological techniques. It has been revealed that a long-term persistence of hepatitis B and C viruses, tick-borne encephalitis, and herpes simplex is accompanied by deficient functioning in the T-cell compartment of immune system, and by markedly altered production of immunoregulatory cytokines in peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes, mainly characterized by Th2 predominance.
