“…( 3 ). Since this study did not compare oral candidiasis with a control group we used the percentage of oral candidiasis of the study of López-Pintor et al ., which also compared the presence of oral candidiasis in renal transplant patients with a control group (4.19%) using the same methodology ( 16 ). If we consider an α =0.05 and a statistical power of 90%, 35 patients will be needed in each group.…”

Background Candidiasis is the most frequent mycotic infection of the oral cavity. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of clinical oral candidiasis and Candida albicans yeast in a population diagnosed of primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) and to study the possible factors associated with this infection. Material and Methods An observational cross-sectional study was conducted in 61 pSS patients (60 women, 1 man, mean age 57.64±13.52) where patient based information (demographic and medical, tobacco and alcohol consumption history), intraoral parameters (presence of dentures, clinical signs of candidiasis), salivary analytical information (number of Candida albicans as colony-forming units per millilitre (CFU/mL), salivary pH levels, unstimulated whole saliva (UWS) and stimulated whole saliva (SWS) were collected. Results 13.1% of pSS patients presented oral signs of candidiasis. Denture stomatitis and angular cheilitis were the most common lesions. 87.5% of patients with clinical candidiasis presented reduced pH levels and salivary flow in both UWS and SWS. A significant statistical negative correlation was found between CFU/mL of Candida albicans and levels of UWS and SWS. A negative correlation was found between pH levels and CFU/mL, although not statistically significant. Conclusions A reduced salivary flow may predispose pSS patients to Candida albicans overgrowth, which may show with clinical signs. Preventive measures are of great importance to avoid and to treat this condition promptly. Key words: Sjögren’s syndrome, oral candidiasis, oral lesions, Candida albicans, oral yeast, salivary flow rate, hyposalivation.

“…Also, a greater presence of Herpes simplex virus type 1, Epstein-Barr virus, and Cytomegalovirus was evidenced in sputum in these patients. In addition to the fact that these microorganisms are causes of numerous oral changes and disruption of the integrity of the oral mucous membranes, there is the possibility of their dissemination, onset of systemic infection and the risk of rejection of the transplanted organ [21,23,24,25].…”

Introduction/Objective. The aim of this paper is to point out the prevalence and severity of oral diseases in patients in the period before and after the transplantation of solid organs and hematopoietic stem cells. Methods. MEDLINE literature search was done via PubMed. Results. The development and improvement of transplantation medicine in specialized centers lead to an increasing number of patients, both adults and children, with transplanted solid organs and hematopoietic stem cells. Despite the success of therapy, numerous changes and complications can be observed on other organs in patients undergoing transplantation of solid organs and hematopoietic stem cells in the pre and post-transplant phase. Systemic diseases and conditions related to organ and cell transplantation, which are accompanied by numerous oral manifestations. The most common oral changes are gingival enlargement, desquamation of the oral epithelium, very painful ulcerations, polypoid and granulomatous changes in the oral mucosa, hard dental tissues with frequent complications, developmental anomalies of teeth in younger children, and in the later stage also the occurrence of oral cancer. After transplantation of solid organs and hematopoietic changes in the oral cavity and other organs occur depending on the patient?s post- transplantation period as well as on the applied immunosuppressive therapy. Conclusion. Oral changes development pre and post transplantation of solid organ and hematopoietic stem cells points to the importance of timely and good cooperation between the dentist and the doctor who treats the underlying disease.

“…In KT patients, Candida dubliniensis and Candida famata cause a signifi cant number of cases 7,22 . Th e reported incidence of oral candidiasis in KT recipients varies from 4% to 43% [23][24][25] . Most commonly infected are the palate, tongue and buccal mucosa, although any oral mucosal surface can be involved.…”

SUMMARY -Permanent immunosuppression is necessary to prevent rejection after kidney transplantation. However, it may predispose patients to diff erent conditions and diseases including oral lesions. Th e most common benign oral lesions in kidney transplant recipients are gingival hyperplasia, oral candidiasis, hairy leukoplakia and saburral tongue. Oral form of Kaposi sarcoma, although rarely, can also be seen in kidney transplant patients. In this review, we present the incidence, etiology, clinical fi ndings, diagnosis and treatment options for these lesions. For kidney transplant recipients, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene and care, as well as regular professional control by the dentist. Th is approach can reduce the number and severity of oral lesions.
