RESUMO
The tongues of AIDS patients can be affected by opportunistic infections and neoplasms. Objectives: to quantify and compare the expression of Langerhans cells (LC) in lesional and non lesional areas in the tongue from patients with and without AIDS (control group), using autopsy material. Methods: we analysed the expression of CD1a, HLA-DR and CD83 using immunohistochemistry to identify and quantify LC in the tongues of AIDS patients (n=40), which were divided into 04 groups (10 lingual candidiasis, 10 lingual herpes, 10 oral hairy leukoplakia and 10 none lesions), and 23 tongues from HIV-negative controls. The immunoreactivity rate was obtained after reading at least seven fields sequenced driven ocular micrometer. The positive LC were detected in the lingual surface epithelium in four different regions (anterior, middle, posterior and lateral) and the results expressed as positive cells per area of epithelium and basement membrane length. Results: LC showed the following immunoreactivity for CD1a in the tongue of AIDS patients (LA=17.30/mm2 and 2.59/mm, LM=21.11/mm2 and 3.16/mm, LP=13.48/mm2 and 2.02/mm, LL=15.55/mm2 and 2.33/mm), and in the control group (LA=205.38/mm2 and 30.81/mm, LM=218.36/mm2 and 32.75/mm, LP=167.29/mm2 and 25.09/mm, LL=223.60/mm2 and 33.54/mm); HLA-DR (AIDS patients) (LA=24.28/mm2 and 3.64/mm, LM=24.60/mm2 and 3.68/mm, LP=20.95/mm2 and 3.14/mm, LL=19.84/mm2 and 2.97/mm), and the control group (LA=68.18/mm2 and 10.23/mm, LM=60.73/mm2 and 9.11/mm, LP=62.94/mm2 and 9.44/mm, LL=50.24/mm2 and 7.53/mm); CD83 (AIDS patients) (LA=6.19/mm2 and 0.92/mm, LM=6.34/mm2 and 0.95/mm, LP=6.82/mm2 and 1.02/mm, LL=7.14/mm2 and 1.07/mm), and the control group (LA=68.18/mm2 and 10.23/mm, LM=68.46/mm2 and 10.27/mm, LP=69.28/mm2 and 10.39/mm, LL=63.49/mm2 and 9.52/mm). The statistical analysis identified significant differences in the both groups and in all regions, and among the 3 antibodies (p<0.001). Conclusions: LC were degenerated and reduced in number in all regions of the tongue of AIDS patients in relation to the control group and the depletion of LC in the tongues of AIDS patients is not associated with oral opportunistic infections
