Background: Infections caused by various microbes may induce  immunodeficiency and allergies.

Methods: Tests were conducted on 579  potentially healthy people (172 women and 407 men, between 25 and 30 years), performed twice: in a diagnosis  and after 6-12 months. Lymphocytes  and NK cells from peripheral blood were assessed using cytometry.  G, A, M immunoglobulin concentrations were determined by the turbidimetry. IgE concentration was measured by ELFA.  HSV2, HIV and Chlamydia trachomatis infections  were detected on the basis of presence of IgM and IgG antibodies  tested by ELISA . For the assessment of HPV infections, DNA  from the urinary-tract, squamous, epithelial cells was tested through PCR. The statistical analysis was undertaken using regression analyses.

Results: In 579 people in the case of 65 people HPV infections were confirmed 10% men, 14,8% women. In 65 patients,  in 1 case concentration of IgA was decreased , in 7 cases IgM.  In 21 cases there were  higher concentration of IgE. During the cytometric analyses a decreased number of  T CD3+ was found in 3 cases , BCD19+ in 5, TCD4+ in 5, T CD8+ in 4, and NK cells in 8 cases. The check for HSV2 were positive  for 17 people: 1,5% men,  6,4% women. In this group in 3 cases the concentration of IgA was decreased , in 2 cases  IgM  was lowered, in 4 cases there were higher concentrations of IgE.  Decreased number of lymphocytes  CD19+ was observed for 1 person and  for 1 person NK cells.Chlamydia trachomatis infections were positive in 10 cases: 1,5%  men, 2,3% women, in this group 1 person had lower IgA and 2 persons had increased concentrations of IgE. HIV infection was negative for all the groups. The examination was repeated for 171 out of 579 people after 6 months. HPV infections were positive in 12,9% cases : 14,9% men,  10,8% women; HSV2 in 11 persons : 2,3% men, 10,7% women;  Chlamydia trachomatis  in 4 cases: 2,3% men 2,4% women.

Conclusions: No significant correlation was observed between HPV, HSV2, HIV and Chlamydia trachomatis infections and  a relevant deviation from the norm of the investigated immunological parameters.
