本研究分析了一年来在伊巴丹大学学院医院牙科中心就诊的58例坏死性溃疡性牙周炎(NUG)和5例口腔癌。4~5岁儿童发病率最高，2~7岁占84.5%。72%的患者出现在雨季，55例患者近期发热病史呈阳性。在统计上，NUG与雨季没有显著的关联。可能的诱发因素，如营养不良、传染性儿童疾病、HIV感染和免疫损害等在NUG和口腔癌中进行了讨论。建议高危儿童保持良好的口腔卫生、充足的营养和适当的医疗护理。
This study analyzed 58 cases of necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (NUG) and 5 cases of cancrum oris among children who sought treatment at the Ibadan University College Hospital, Dental Centre in a 1-year period. The peak occurrence of NUG was among 4- and 5-year old children and 84.5% of them were in the 2 to 7 years age range. Seventy-two percent presented in the rainy season with positive history of recent febrile illness in 55 cases. There was no statistically significant association of NUG and rainy season. Possible predisposing factors in NUG and cancrum oris such as malnutrition, infectious childhood diseases, HIV infection, and immune compromise are discussed. It is suggested that children at risk should be advised to maintain good oral hygiene, adequate nutrition, and proper medical care.
