Stomatologic status of patients with acute leukemia

Abstract

Oral mucositis is quite distressing for patients. There were formed groups of patients with acute lymphoblastic and acute nonlymphoblastical leukemia. We have determined some indeces and characterized stomatological status of them. The results indicate, that patients with leukemia have xerostomia, enlarging of lymph nodes, haemorrhagia, pain in oral cavity. Evidence demonstrates that patients with leukemia need in stomatological observing, because their level of hygenical oral is low in many cases.
