RESUMEN

The impact of opisthorchiasis on the manifestations of herpes simplex viruses type 2 (HSV-2) was studied. The parasites were established to tend to cause the body's hypersensitivity to HSV-2, particularly after repeated invasions and in summer, the process being characterized by urogenital and bile duct lesions coupled with high proliferation rate in their epithelium. Opisthorchiasis became a reservoir and an additional source of viral infection. There were also a definite damage to their reproductive system. The possible involvement of HSV-2 in the development of primary liver carcinoma in opisthorchiasis is discussed in the paper.
