To study the characteristics of the microbial landscape of the oral cavity in children suffering from acute forms of leukemia.
There have been studies of 161 children aged from 2 to 18 years. Of these, 126 children were diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 35 somatically healthy children.
The study of the state of oral microbiocenosis evaluated in children according to the data, which were obtained from the main habitats of the oral cavity: content periodontal groove plaque from buccal surfaces of the lower molars, oral fluid.
Picture microbiocenosis in the oral cavity in children with blood cancer is significantly different from that of healthy children. During the treatment of the underlying disease increases the amount and improves the degree of population of conditionally pathogenic and pathogenic
microflora, which causes aggravation of major dental diseases and leads to decompensated flow during the recurrence of the underlying disease. Therefore, especially important to the correction of oral microflora as a whole, as well as the timely removal of plaque and personal
hygiene of each child in different periods of the disease
