Abstract

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of oral mucosal diseases (OMD) in patients with cerebrovascular disease. Methods: A total of 182 patients with cerebrovascular disease and 166 controls were examined for OMD to compare the differences of prevalence rates. Results: The prevalence of OMD in patients with cerebrovascular disease appeared higher than that in the control group. Oral candidiasis was most commonly seen (11.1%, 20/182), followed by fissured tongue (5.0%, 9/182), traumatic ulcer (2.8%, 5/182), herpes labialis (2.2%, 4/182), recurrent oral ulcer (1.6%, 3/182), chronic cheilitis (1.6%, 3/182) and oral leukokeratosis (1.6%, 3/182). Conclusion: Patients with cerebrovascular diseases were susceptible to OMDs, especially to oral candidiasis that called for more attention.

目的: 调查脑血管病患者出现口腔黏膜异常的患病情况。 方法: 对182名脑血管病患者和166名对照进行口腔黏膜疾病的检查,比较2组间口腔黏膜疾病的患病率。 结果: 脑血管病患者中检出口腔黏膜病的比率要高于对照组,最常见的是口腔念珠菌病11.1%(20/182),其次是沟纹舌5.0%(9/182)、创伤性溃疡2.8%(5/182)、唇疱疹2.2%(4/182)、复发性口腔溃疡1.6%(3/182)、慢性唇炎1.6%(3/182)、白色角化症1.6%(3/182)等。 结论: 脑血管病患者容易出现口腔黏膜病,尤其是口腔念珠菌病,需要防范其发生和发展。.
