title: [Scanning electron microscopy study of experimental lingual candidiasis in rats].
abstract: Experimental lingual candidosis becomes rapidly aggressive in vitamin B deficient rats, receiving Terramycin. The candidosis extends in multiple areas of the tongue, destroying mucosal papillae. The scanning electron microscope is an invaluable instrument to study the alterations of the lingual surface.
