Abstract:
58 patients with endometriosis were examined. Of these, 27 had adenomyosis, and 31 had external
genital endometriosis. The control group consisted of 18 apparently healthy women. The parameters of the immune
system (cellular immunity and cytokine status) were studied in all examined women. It was revealed that, in
comparison with those of the control group, in all patients with endometriosis, the level of subpopulation composition
of lymphocytes (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD16, CD20, CD45RA, CD25, CD95), as well as the level of cytokines (IL–1β, IL–2, IL
6, IL–8, IFNγ) began to decrease to increase depending on the form of endometriosis.
