“…The presence of family history has been identified as a risk factor affecting the disease progression and the clinical course in RAS patients. In the literature, positive family history was determined in 42 to 67.3% of patients (10)(11)(12). In our study, consistent with the literature, positive family history was determined in 52.8% of patients.…”

Aim:To determine the factors in the etiology of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) and to evaluate patients in the terms of RAS associated systemic disorders especially Behçet's disease. Methods:Patients with RAS, who were followed up in Bartın State Hospital Dermatology Clinic between July 2013 and April 2015, were retrospectively evaluated.Results: A total of 123 patients (86 female, 37 male) were included in this study. Thirteen (106%) patients were children. The mean age of patients was 34.5±14.7 years (range: 8-69 years). Minor aphthous somatitis was the most frequent clinical type (68.3%). Family history was positive in 52.8% of patients. The triggering factors in the etiology of RAS were stress (54.5%), trauma (40.2%), gingivitis (29.3%), food (9.8%), medicines (5.7%), menstruation in female patients (3.3%), and throat infections (2.4%). Nutritional deficiencies were found in 39% of patients. There was a statistically significant difference in attack frequency (p=0.017) and throat infection history (p=0.029) between adults and pediatric patients. Fourteen (11.4%) patients were diagnosed with Behçet's disease. When we compared the RAS patients diagnosed with Behçet's disease and the other RAS patients, a significant difference was found in pathergy test (p<0.001) and ferritin levels (p=0.020).Conclusion:Patients with RAS should be followed up for a long time for systemic disorders, especially for Behçet's disease, accompanying RAS. RAS'li çocuk hastalar ile erişkin hastaları karşılaştırdığımızda atak sıklığı ve boğaz enfeksiyonu (p=0,029) dışında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir fark gözlenmedi. On dört hastaya (%11,4) Behçet hastalığı tanısı konuldu. Behçet hastalığı tanısı alan hastalar ile diğer RAS'li hastaları kıyasladığımızda, paterji pozitifliği (p<0,001) ve ferritin düzeyleri (p=0,020) arasındaki fark istatiksel açıdan anlamlıydı.Sonuç: RAS hastalarını sadece etiyolojik faktörler ve hematinik eksikler açısından değerlendirmek yeterli değildir. Bu hastalar başta Behçet hastalığı başta olmak üzere RAS'nin eşlik ettiği diğer sistemik hastalıklar açısından uzun süre takibe alınmalıdır.

A Case of Refractory Oral Aphthous Ulcer Successfully Treated with Adalimumab

Oral aphthous ulcer is a common lesion characterized by loss of dermal tissue of various shapes in many diseases. It is not serious, but may affect quality of life through pain and discomfort. In many cases, it heals spontaneously without treatment or with topical agents such as antiseptics, analgesics and corticosteroid in a few days. However, rarely, there are a few cases of aphthous ulcer that remain refractory despite appropriate treatment. Tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors have recently been used in treatment of severe mucosal ulcer in Behçet's disease. Herein, we report a patient suffering from refractory oral aphthous ulcers that were resistant to topical and systemic agents, but were successfully treated with adalimumab.

“…Ülkemizde yapılan bir çalışmada da aftöz stomatitit ile diyet alışkanlıkları arasındaki ilişki araştırılmış ve baharatlı yiyecek tüketiminin aftlarla ilişkili olduğu saptanmıştır 44 . RAS ve yiyecek tüketimi arasında ilişkinin saptanmadığı çalışmalar da bulunmaktadır 18,19 . Mevcut literatür ve bulgularımız, yiyecek hassasiyetinin RAS için etiyolojik bir faktör olmaktan ziyade, hazırlayıcı ve hastalık şiddetini arttıran bir faktör olduğu görüşünü desteklemektedir.…”

Background and Design:The purpose of this study was to obtain data that may provide an insight into the etiopathogenesis of recurrent aphtous stomatitis (RAS) by the way of analysing the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients who had been diagnosed with RAS. Materials and Metods: The patients, who were diagnosed with RAS in the dermatology outpatient clinic, between May 2007 and May 2010, were evaluated retrospectively. The data including sociodemografic and clinical characteristics, and treatment options were recorded. Results: A hundred patients (68 women, 32 men) were included in this study. The average age was 40±13.6 years. RAS was more common in patients with middle-income and low education. The most common type of RAS was minor aphtous ulcers (88%). The lesions were most frequently seen on the lateral side of the tongue (34%) and cheek (34%). Sixty percent of patients had a positive family history. Some factors such as biting (12%), tooth brushing (18%), dental disease presence (82%), food (39%), menstruation (10.3%), stress (76%), iron deficiency (16.7%), vitamin B12 deficiency (22.4%), low serum ferritin levels (18%), and seasonal variability (32%) showed positive correlation with RAS. A negative correlation was found between RAS and smoking. Forty-nine percent of patients had used alternative therapies in addition to drug therapy. The most frequently used alternative method was consumption of sumac (26.5%). Conlucions: In contrast to the literature, our study found that RAS is started in the third decade of life and, approximately 50% of patients prefered alternative treatment methods, particularly sumac. Nowadays, discussions about the etiopathogenesis of RAS continue. In this study, we found that different sociodemographic and clinical factors may be associated with the etiopathogenesis of the disease. Our study will be followed by further studies using prospective design to identify the the etiopathogenesis of RAS. (Turkderm 2014; 48: 242-8)
