Popis: Aim: To assess and compare the inflammatory infiltrate, area of muscle cells, microvessel density (MVD) and expression of cytokines in the myocardium (MM) and lingual (LM) musculature between chagasic and non chagasic individuals. Methods: Fragments of MM and LM from autopsied chronic chagasic (CC) (n=18) and non chagasic individuals (n=24) were histologically processed for histochemical and immunohistochemical evaluation. Was assessed the MVD by CD31 and quantification of immune cells infiltrated in MM and LM, and also expression of IL-1, IL-10 and TGF- β1. Results: There were higher intensity of inflammation and larger area of muscle cells in the myocardium and tongue of chagasic compared to non-chagasic individuals (p
