ABSTRACT

Se han descrito las alteraciones ultraestructurales en fibras musculares esqueléticas en pacientes VIH+. En fibras del músculo orbicular de los labios se efectuaron las siguientes observaciones: atrofia, desorganización del sistema sarcotubular y núcleos hipercrómaticos. Los cambios encontrados en la microvasculatura, fueron compatibles con los encontrados en la fibra en enfermedades autoinmunes: Lupus Eritematoso Sistémico, Diabetes Autoinmune, Síndrome de Sjõrgen. Propósito: Evaluar las alteraciones ultraestructurales en la microvasculatura asociadas a desórdenes en el músculo orbicular de los labios de pacientes VIH+. Material y Método: se tomaron biopsias del músculo orbicular de los labios de pacientes del Centro de Atención a Pacientes con Enfermedades Infectocontagiosas Dra. Elsa La Corte entre 2001- 2002, masculinos , femeninos, edades entre 38 y 53 años. Pacientes VIH+, bajo terapia HAART, presentando miopatía. Biopsias procesadas por técnicas rutinarias para M.E.T. Resultados: citoplasma capilar proliferativo, ruptura de la membrana plasmática de la célula endotelial, membrana basal engrosada, endotelio con áreas electrón densas y electrón transparentes, prolongaciones del citoplasma hacia la luz. Conclusión: se sugiere que los efectos del VIH sobre la microvasculatura del músculo esquelético son similares a los descritos en otras enfermedades autoinmunes.


Ultrastructural alterations of squeletic muscle fibers in HIV+ patients have been described. In orbicular muscle fibers of lips were realized the following observations: atrophy, sarcotubular system desorganization and hyperchromatic nuclei. Changes found in the microvasculature were similar to there seen in autoimmune disorders as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Autoimmune Diabetes and Sjörgen Syndrome. Propose: evaluation of microvascular ultrastructural alterations in orbicular muscles in HIV patients. Material and Methods: biopsies were taken from lips orbicular muscles in patients attending the Centre for the Care of Patients with Infections and Contagions diseases "Dra Elsa La Corte" between years 2001 and 2002, females and males, with ages between 38 and 53 years. Patients used HAART therapy, present myopathy. .Biopsies were processed according to rutinary techniques for Transmission Electron Microscopy. Results: proliferative endothelial cell cytoplasm in some case rupture of plasma membrane with necrosis, widening of basement membrane, endothelial cell cytoplasm with different electron densities and infolding of cytoplasm into the lumen. Conclusion: it is suggested that the effects of HIV on the skeletal muscle microvasculature are similar to those described in other autoimmune diseases.
