RESUMO
This study describes the alterations found in the parotid glands of 100 patients who died of AIDS and of 15 who died for other reasons. Sialadenitis occurred in the parotid of 13,34% cases of the control group, and in 35% cases of the AIDS group. Ten cases of mycobacteriosis, three of cryptococosis, two of histoplasmosis, nine of citomegalovirusis, six lymphoepithelial cysts, one Warthin s tumor and one non-Hodgkin lymphoma were found in the parotid of the HIV positive patients. Intraparotid Iymph nodes showed depletion of Iymphocytes in 31 cases and inclusion of glandular tissue in 37 cases of immunodeficient patients. Mycobacteriosis, cryptococosis and histoplasmosis in the parotid glands are well documented in the literature, but in HIV positive it is rarely described. It is also important to consider that the alterations of the parotid here described had not been diagnosed clinically. This results indicate that infectious and others lesions in the parotid gland and probably in the other major salivary glands are more frequent than here to fore described in the literature in AIDS patients
