Com a finalidade de investigar a resposta imune celular em mulheres com e sem CVV, foram avaliadas c?lulas do sangue perif?rico da mucosa vaginal, concentra??es de IgE s?rica total e espec?fica para Candida albicans de 60 mulheres sendo 40 com CVV e 20 como grupo controle, na faixa et?ria de 10 aos 60 anos atendidas no servi?o de ginecologia do complexo de sa?de HAPVIDA em Natal (RN) no per?odo de janeiro a mar?o de 2006. As coletas de sangue perif?rico foram realizadas por pun??o venosa e a contagem celular de cada paciente foi realizada por automa??o e contagem manual em esfrega?os sanguineos corados por Giemsa. A quantifica??o de linf?citos TCD4+ e TCD8+ foi realizada por citometria de fluxo e os esfrega?os vaginais foram preparados com raspado da parede vaginal lateral, as l?minas foram fixadas imediatamente em ?lcool absoluto e coradas posteriormente com hematoxilina-eosina, foram analisados 10 campos microsc?picos por l?minas em objetivas 10X e 40X. As concentra??es de IgE total s?rica e espec?fica para Candida albicans foram obtidas por quimiluminesc?ncia e fluoroimunoensaio. No sangue perif?rico e no raspado vaginal estudou se as c?lulas tipo neutr?filos, linf?citos, eosin?filos e mon?citos . A an?lise estat?stica foi feita utilizando se o teste exato de Fisher e teste n?o param?trico de Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney e o teste de correla??o de Spermann. No grupo de mulheres com CVV a an?lise celular no sangue perif?rico houve predomin?ncia de eosin?filos (m?dia: 302,60) sendo esse achado significativo com p=0,037 em rela??o ao grupo controle. O estudo das c?lulas nos raspados vaginais demonstrou diferen?as significativas para neutr?filos (m?dia: 230.70) e linf?citos (m?dia: 11,50) com signific?ncia de P=0,0001. Com rela??o a quantifica??o de linf?citos TCD4+ e TCD8+ n?o houve significado estat?stico. As concentra??es de IgE total s?rica e espec?fica n?o apresentaram significado estat?stico e para ambos grupos os resultados encontrados foram semelhantes nas diferentes metodologias aplicadas. Ao correlacionar as concentra??es de IgE total s?rica (m?dia=308,83) com eosin?filos no sangue perif?rico de mulheres com CVV apresentou um ?ndice de correla??o de 0,25 considerado baixo. / Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is one of the most common infections in the clinical practice of a gynecologist. and control of this disease is carried out by various defense mechanisms, where the cellular immune response appears to be fundamental. In order to investigate the cellular immune response in women with and without CVV, Peripheral blood cells of vaginal mucosa were evaluated, the concentrations of total and specific IgE to Candida albicans, 60 women and 40 with VVC and 20 as a control group, aged 10 to 60 years years served in the gynecology service Hapvida health complex in Natal (RN) in the period January-March 2006. Peripheral blood samples were taken by venipuncture and cell count of each patient was performed by automation and manual counting in blood smears stained with Giemsa. Quantification of CD4 + and CD8 + lymphocytes was performed by flow cytometry Vaginal smears were prepared with shaved lateral vaginal wall, The slides were fixed immediately in absolute ethanol and then stained with hematoxylin-eosin, 10 were analyzed by microscopic fields blades eyepiece 10X and 40X objective. The serum IgE concentrations and total specific for Candida albicans, They were obtained by chemiluminescence and fluoroimmunoassay. In peripheral blood and vaginal shaved studied cell type cell neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils and monocytes. Statistical analysis was performed using the Fisher exact test and nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney and Spearman correlation test In the group of women with VVC cell analysis in peripheral blood eosinophil predominated, (average 302.60) and this significant finding with p = 0.037 in the control group. . The cell study the cells in vaginal scrapings showed significant differences in neutrophils neutrophils, (average 230.70) and lymphocytes (average 11.50) with significance of p = 0.0001. .With Respect to quantification of CD4 + T lymphocytes and CD8 + there was no statistical significance. IgE serum concentrations and specific overall did not show statistical significance and and both groups the results were similar in the different methodologies. By relating the total serum IgE concentrations (mean = 308.83), with eosinophils in the peripheral blood of women with VVC had a 0.25 considered low correlation index.
