36 intervertebrate disks (IVD) were studied in spinal osteochondrosis concurrent with herniation. Expression of herpes simplex types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) antigens, which was absent in IVD of the control group (autopsy cases without disk hernia). The similarity of herniation in osteochondrosis and cardiac mesenchymal dysplasia, a frequent concomitance of these processes and the presence of HSV-1 and HSV-2 antigens in the IVD cells and cardiac valves may indicate the same nature of these diseases.
