Morphological examinations of the liver in chronic opisthorchiasis have both diagnostic and prognostic importance. Significant lowering of the number of cells of the portal tract inflammatory infiltrate per area unit (1 mmI), decreased number of neutrophilic and eosinophilic leukocytes, elevated count of monocytes are not only morphological markers of successful dehelminthization but they also reflect objective improvement of the liver state this being an absolute criterion of effective therapy.

Material And Methods: Fifteen CHC patients received cyclopheron by 6 month scheme before dehelminthization. The effect was evaluated by dynamics of clinical symptoms, results of functional hepatic tests, levels of autoantibodies to antigens of native and denaturated DNA, CIC and lactoferrin.
The impact of antihelminthic therapy on gastrointestinal function was studied in 150 patients with psoriasis concurrent with chronic opisthorchiasis, 100 patients with psoriasis without helminthiasis, and 30 healthy individuals. A fractional study of gastric secretion was conducted in its both phases, by using histamine stimulation; carbohydrate absorption was investigated by the 5-g D-xylose test; fat absorption by the Kamer procedure; the bioelectrical activity of the small bowel was examined by electric enterography. These indices were followed up for 2-3 years.

The quantitative characteristics of T and B-lymphocytes and their subpopulations (theophylline-resistant and theophylline-sensitive lymphocytes), the reaction of lymphocyte blast transformation (RLBT) after stimulation with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and the level of circulating immune complexes (CIC) in pseudotuberculosis patients with and without concomitant opisthorchiasis were studied and compared. For control opisthorchiasis patients undergoing dehelminthization and healthy persons were examined. The following results were obtained: in most pseudotuberculosis patients Opisthorchis invasion contributed to the formation of stable and prolonged T lymphopenia, an increase in the content of theophylline-sensitive lymphocytes and CIC, hyporeactivity of T lymphocytes in RLBT.
