The lymph nodes were frequently enlarged and in the hlstologic examination showed severe changes in the córtex, with atrophic lymphoid follicles, and mild atrophy of the paracortical área. The stnus were dilated and showed prominent macrophage actívation with an intente phagocytosís by the reticulum cel- Is present in the medullary and cortical sinus. The atrophy of the córtex and paracortical área may represent tiie morphologic changes of the immunodefíciency that hás been discussed for the patíents with severe infection \y Strongyloides stercoralis. The en- Virgement of the lymph nodes was reated to the dilatation of the sina< which showed also moderate to severe degree of hyperplasia of the reticulum cells.porAcesso AbertoArtigo
