RESUMO
This study describes the alterations found in the major salivary glands of 32 patients who died of AIDS and of 13 who died for other reasons. Sialadenitis occurred in the parotid of 23% cases of the control group, and in 54%, 51 % and 45% cases of the parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands respectively, of the patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection. Six cases of tuberculosis, one of cryptococosis, one citomegalovirus infection were found in the parotid of the HIV positive patients. Intraparotid lymph nodes showed depletion of lymphocytes in 7 and inclusion of glandular tissue in 7 cases of immunodeficient patients. Tuberculosis in the salivary glands is well documented in the literature, but in HIV positive it is rarely described. It is also important to consider that the alterations of the major salivary glands here described had not been diagnosed clinically
