Abstract
HIV can affect salivary gland tissue. Parotid swellings have been obse rved in a subset of patients who are HIV-positive; the swellings are t he result of a condition that has been termed diffuse infiltrative CD8 lymphocytosis syndrome. Initially the glandular enlargement results f rom a massive CD8 cell lymphoproliferation, but with time lymphoepithe lial cysts become manifest. Two case reports are presented to illustra te this progression of diffuse infiltrative CD8 lymphocytosis.
