RESUMEN
Antecedentes: Las amígdalas palatinas son una barrera anatómica y funcional que dependen de la intervención del sistema inmunológico adaptativo. En casos de amigdalitis crónica, los procesos de presentación antigénica y activación celular pueden modificarse, por lo que remover de forma terapéutica las amígdalas crónicamente enfermas habría que considerarse una ventaja potencial.
Objetivos: Identificar las características fenotípicas y funcionales de los linfocitos T y B y las células dendríticas del tejido amigdalino. Valorar el efecto terapéutico que esto puede tener en la toma de decisiones para el manejo de estos pacientes.
Pacientes y métodos: Se estudiaron 10 pacientes en edad pediátrica con indicación de amigdalectomía, para obtener células mononucleares palatinas e identificar a las subpoblaciones linfoides y mieloides mediante citometría de flujo. Posteriormente se evaluó la funcionalidad de los linfocitos T CD4
+ y T CD8
+.
Resultados: Se demostró que los linfocitos T CD4
+ y T CD8
+ son funcionales con base en su capacidad para producir múltiples citocinas simultáneamente, ejercer actividad citotóxica y diferenciarse en poblaciones de memoria. El estudio de las poblaciones de células dendríticas, mieloides y plasmocitoides reveló que en el tejido amigdalino hay 1.39% de células mieloides y 0.19% de plasmocitoides.
Conclusiones: Los linfocitos T CD4
+ y CD8
+ de tejido amigdalino son funcionales a pesar de haber estado sometidos a estimulación crónica por infecciones de repetición. Contrario a lo que sustenta la bibliografía, los autores rechazan la posibilidad de que sea un tejido disfuncional en mayor o menor grado.
