title: [Incidence of candidiasis of the buccal mucosa and efficiency of its treatment in diabetics].
abstract: A total of 102 patients with diabetes mellitus (types 1 and 2) were examined. Local immunity of the oral cavity and infection of the buccal mucosa with Candida fungi was evaluated. The incidence of true candidiasis of the buccal mucosa in diabetics was 35.3% and of latent candidiasis 43.1%. The adsorption activity of epithelial cells of the buccal mucosa was decreased in diabetics. Treatment was prescribed for all patients with both true and latent infection. Basic therapy did not essentially modify the course of candidal infection of the buccal mucosa, while therapy with Varzi-Yatchi mineral water 4.5 times decreased the contamination of the buccal mucosa and increased the adsorption activity of epithelial cells of the buccal mucosa.
