title: [Morphological changes in adenotonsillar tissue as early manifestation of asymptomatic HIV patient].
abstract: The HIV virus induces in the host several changes in your immunological system, which heads to the AIDS. We report two cases diagnosed by pathological studies after adenotonsilectomy for adenotonsilar hypertrophy. The diagnosis of HIV patients is suspected by epidemiologic (risk groups) or clinical features (opportunist diseases). But, it exists a early diagnosis, the histological findings in the extranodal lymphoid tissues, unusual on the literature. These phenomenons re-enforce the contamination way by means of the superior aerodigestive tract mucosis.
