THE ROLE OF HERPES VIRUS INFECTION IN CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS AND SEVERITY OF EXPERIMENTAL RADIATION OROPHARYNGEAL SYNDROME

Abstract

Experimental models of radiation oropharyngeal syndrome were developed for both isolated (radiation) and combined (radiation, chemical and herpes virus) exposure of laboratory animals. Preliminary infecting the tested animals with herpes simplex type 1 virus (HVS-1) before chemical and radiation exposure increased radiation lesions in mucous membrane of the oral cavity in rats, thus aggravating oral mucositis with about 40 % death rate. When Molixan, possessing immunomodulating and antivirus properties, was used for treatment and prevention, radiation oropharyngeal syndrome incidence decreased by 2-3 times, along with symptom severity, thus enabling all the tested animals to survive.
