[Morphologic characteristics of the parotid glands in monkeys in the late period following mumps].
Three monkeys of "Macaca iris" species were examined twice: 3 months and 1 year after having mumps. Morphological data of both parotid glands biopsy are presented. Macrophage lymphocytes and plasmatic cells infiltration around the widened ducts as well as between the acini, growth of fibrosis and lipomatosis, and secretory stasis in glandular cells were observed long time after the disease. These changes are typical of Sjögren disease. This fact allows the authors to consider that virus affection may also be important in the aetiology of parotid glands autoimmune processes.
