An increase in the level of MMP-9 against the background of normal values of TIMP-1 and low levels of TIMP-2 indicates the destructive potential of the infectious process. An increase in the effectiveness of combination therapy using recombinant interferon-gamma has been observed.</p>extracellular matrixchlamydiaimmunomodulatorsмежклеточный матриксхламидиозиммуномодуляторы[1.
