Abstract

Research objective: the use of an immunomodulator III generation with a wide range of action (muramyl peptide drug Liastenum) to increase the effectiveness of treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade I associated with human papilloma virus (HPV) and to reduce the recurrence of cervical pathology.
Materials and methods. The study included 60 women with histologically confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia associated with highly oncogenic HPV. The mean age of patients was 25.92 ± 0.61 years. The first group included 30 women who received traditional treatment, the second group included 30 women who additional received Liastenum 0.002 g intramuscularly 1 time per day, 5 injections per course, after that patients took 1 tablets Liastenum twice a day for 20 days.
Traditional treatment included antibiotic therapy (doxycycline monohydrate), metronidazole, nystatin in standard dosage. Patients with herpes viruses received valaciclovir 500 mg twice/day for 5 days. Evaluation of treatment efficacy was performed at 6 and 12 months with co-testing, fluid cytology, HPV quantification, and colposcopy.
Results. There was a significant decrease in the exposure level of highly oncogenic HPV in the second group compared to the first: after 12 months in the first group HPV was not detected in 2 women (6.67%), and in the second group HPV was no detected in 17 women (56.67%) (p < 0.05). Improvement of the colposcopic picture occurred in 70% of patients in the second group, and in 12 (40.0%) of patients colposcopic conclusion on the Swedish scale was less than 3 points after 12 months of observation. Only 8 (26.67%) women received improvement of the colposcopic picture with a score of 3 points on the Swedish scale in the first group, which was significantly different from the second group (p < 0.05).
Conclusions. Advanced therapy with muramyl peptide Liastenum in the treatment of cervix for 12 months can increase the effectiveness of HPV elimination, improves the colposcopic picture by reducing the area of cervical lesions and normalized cytological picture in 70% of patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade I.
