The pattern recognition receptors expressed on neutrophils and the associated cytokine profile from different aged patients with Candida-related denture stomatitis

► IL-4 and IL-10 were increased in the saliva from patients with oral candidiasis. ► IL-12 and IFN-γ were decreased in the saliva from elderly without oral candidiasis. ► TLR2+ neutrophils were found in elderly groups regardless of candidiasis. ► IL-4 was increased in the serum from elderly groups regardless of candidiasis. ► CD69+ salivary neutrophils were increased in both groups with candidiasis.
