[THE FEATURES OF THE COURSE OF INFECTIOUS MONONUKLEOSIS OF DIFFERENT ETIOLOGY IN CHILDREN].

Aim - to study the effect of different pathogens (EBV, CMV, HHV-6, and MIXT) on the severity of clinical-paraclinical manifestations of infectious mononucleosis in children. The clinical and laboratory study performed for 410 children aged from 10 months up to 12 years with infectious mononucleosis. The association of herpes viruses, mainly EBV, CMV and HHV type 6, takes part in the formation of the clinical picture of IM in (52,9%) of cases.

Hormone Production by Epithelial Cells of Human Thymus in vitro.

The conditions of hormone production by human thymic stromal cell line were studied. Human thymic stromal cells did not produce any hormones in 5-day monoculture. Co-cultivation of these cells with human thymocytes induced alpha1-thymosin and thymulin production increased to 4-5 days of co-cultivation.
