title: [The state of oral cavity in patients with hepatitis A].
abstract: The aim of the study was to estimate oral cavity condition in 42 patients aged 25-58 years with hepatitis A. Forty patients without hepatic pathology served as controls. Hepatitis A is known to be associated with inflammation of oral mucosa with stomatitis occurring in 78.5% of the patients, glossitis in 71.4%, cheilitis in 64.3%, marginal periodontal inflammation in 85.7%. Oral mucosal lesions confound the clinical picture of hepatitis. The prevalence of caries and its complications in patients with hepatitis A amounts to 95.2%. Results of our studies confirm the necessity of early stomatological examination of such patients.
