In total, 87 placental bed specimens were utilized, which were grouped into normotensive pregnant (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200928), early-onset preeclampsia (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200931), and late-onset preeclampsia (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200928), and further stratified by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status. Tissue was immunostained with podoplanin antibody to investigate whether HIV infection affects lymphangiogenesis. The lymphatic capillary density and luminal areas within the placental bed were morphometrically assessed. Lymphatic microvessel density and mean area\/lumen in the preeclampsia group were higher and larger than in the normotensive group, respectively (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.01 and\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.001).

Significant differences were observed between the mean microvessel density of normotensive HIV-uninfected and HIV-infected groups (5.9\u2009\u00b1\u20092.3 versus 7.5\u2009\u00b1\u20092.8,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.01) and late-onset preeclampsia HIV-uninfected and HIV-infected groups (7.1\u2009\u00b1\u20093.9 versus 7.8\u2009\u00b1\u20092.7,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.01).
