 The diagnosis of concomitant systemic pathology was recorded based on the results of the conclusions of district pediatricians, ENT doctors, gastroenterologists, immunologists, allergists, and rheumatologists. As a result of the study, it turned out that all the examined patients had comorbidities, namely, chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, diseases of ENT organs, allergic reactions, as well as a violation of the immune status, Behcet's disease. Based on the results of the study, it turned out that patients with aphthous stomatitis, as a rule, have a wide range of health-related problems, which should be taken into account when drawing up a comprehensive treatment plan for patients with this disease.
