title: [Changes in the oral cavity of children as possible diagnostic signs of leukemia].
abstract: In 15 of the 65 children the initial signs of leukemia coincided with oral diseases running an uncommon course: acute or chronic recurrent herpetic stomatitis, periostitis, parotitis. An infectious process showing no tendency to resolution, stubborn infiltration of tissues in inflamed foci, hemorrhages, and changed total status of a child may be regarded as probable diagnostic signs of leukemia, requiring a profound examination, carried out by a dentist and hematologist.
