Relevance. One of the causes of chronic disease is herpetic infection, lifelong persistence in the human body and activates the macrophage protection system, which leads to disruption of iron utilization by the cells of the hematopoietic system and the development of anemia of chronic disease. To prove the influence of herpesvirus infection on the occurrence of anemia of chronic disease.Materials and methods. The study involved 75 people suffering from herpes-viral infection. 3 groups were allocated: the frst group (25 people) received acyclovir 1 tablet (200 mg) 5 times a day, 5 days; The 2-nd group (25 people) used famvir for 1 tablet (250 mg) 2 times a day, 5 days; The third group (25 people) – famvir 1 tablet (250 mg) 2 times a day, 5 days and kagocel 2 tablets (12 mg) 3 times a day, 5 days.Result. All subjects examined at the time of treatment showed an increase in the content of IL 1β mRNK and TNF-α and a decrease in mRNK of IL 8 and IL 10; on day 14 of the study, a decrease in IL 1β mRNK and TNF-α mRNK and an increase in IL 10 mRNK. In the study of erythrocyte indices – the average volume of erythrocytes and the average hemoglobin content in erythrocyte and the parameters of iron-serum iron metabolism and the total iron binding capacity of the serum, slight deviations from the norm were obtained.Conclusions. Thus, we concluded that the cause of anemia, in addition to the lack of iron, can be chronic herpesvirus infection, and thus timely treatment of a viral infection excludes the use of ferrotherapy.

Background: Anemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and this is generally anemia of chronic disease, but iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is also common. Soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) is a useful marker for IDA. Present study was undertaken to assess the utility of sTfR as a marker of IDA in selected group of Bangladeshi patients with CKD.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Nephrology, BSMMU, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2013 to December 2014. Patients with anemia admitted in nephrology department whether on hemodialysis or not and medicine department of BSMMU were taken for study. The study population was further divided into two groups; Group A, patients who are having IDA and Group B, patients with ACD and a control group was also selected. Data were collected by face to face interview and laboratory investigations with a self-administered questionnaire.Results: The mean age of the patients in two study groups were 38.40±13.23 and 34.85±10.52 years respectively and male-female ratio were 0.5:1 and 1:0.5. Mean sTfR level was higher (4.81± 1.64 ?g/ml) in patients with IDA than (2.89±1.40 ?g/ml) in patients with ACD (p <0.0001). In our study mean ferritin level was 599.59± 449.15?g/L in ACD patients whereas 101.23±119.42 in IDA patients (p<0.0001). Total iron binding capacity (TIBC) was more in ACD patients with sTfRe”3?g/ml as compared to ACD patients with sTfR<3?g/ml. Transferrin saturation (TSAT) level was significantly decreased in ACD patients with sTfR ?3?g/ml as compared to ACD patients with sTfR<3?g/ml.Conclusion: sTfR has a comparable ability to S. ferritin in diagnosing IDA and ACD. However, sTfR and serum ferritin alone cannot definitely exclude co-existing iron deficiency in ACD. As sTfR is not affected by infection and/or inflammation, thus providing a non-invasive alternative to bone marrow study.Birdem Med J 2017; 7(2): 132-137
