Recuento de leucocitos en pacientes con estomatitis aftosa recurrente

Abstract

Objective: To determine the leukocyte count in blood picture of patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Methods: Descriptive observational study, identifying the presence of Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis a significant increase in cell immunity; total participants (720 students from St. Thomas University) reported the presence of recurrent aphthous stomatitis. 40 individuals, 20 with diagnosis of RAS and 20 healthy control patients were included. Since leukocyte count format changesbetween group 1 and the control group was filled out. Results: Predominant female gender 60% of the population; Third socioeconomic status to 45% of participants; the mean age was 24.1 years (95% from 21.5 to 26.8) with a standard deviation of 8.2years compared to the average population, reported the minimum age was 15 years a maximum of 49 years. The 60% of the 20 patients with RAS were reported that their activities without much trouble, the factors that triggered the occurrence in this population was the stress with 60% followed by trauma in 30%. The presence of neutrophils were reported in 62.5% of the population as normal in 37.5% eosinophils is described as plain, basophils 97.5% reported a normal level in monocytes 47, 5% of the total assessed reported a high level in lymphocytes and 67.5% were in a normal range. Leukocytes evaluated in general the values were similar among those with thrush and not presented. Conclusions: The difference between a person with thrush and healthy condition is low, due to: the number of patients treated, behavior of these cells or different existing participants who were not taken into account pathologies. Triggers such as stress, physical exhaustion and trauma are not statistically related to the types of EAR and the presence of thrush. Deviations of leukocytes in general showed very low values (lower outcome 1x10 ^ 3 / uL), suggesting little variability in this population or the sample. The neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes and lymphocytes are all normal values with the presence of EAR and very similar types of EAR. Deviations of leukocytes in general showed very low values (lower outcome 1x10 ^ 3 / uL), suggesting little variability in this population or the sample.
