    Author: Popruzhenko TV.
    Journal: Stomatologiia (Mosk); 1992; (1):83-5. PubMed ID: 1440693.
    Abstract:
    In 15 of the 65 children the initial signs of leukemia coincided with oral diseases running an uncommon course: acute or chronic recurrent herpetic stomatitis, periostitis, parotitis. An infectious process showing no tendency to resolution, stubborn infiltration of tissues in inflamed foci, hemorrhages, and changed total status of a child may be regarded as probable diagnostic signs of leukemia, requiring a profound examination, carried out by a dentist and hematologist.
