Title: Leukocyte profile of patients with oral disease received at the menontin hospital dental office in 2018

Biography:

Abstract:

Introduction : Oral diseases are infectious diseases that modify the leukocyte profile according to the severity of the infection. This change in the leukocyte profile can have serious repercussions on health. The general objective of this study is to evaluate the leucocyte status of people suffering from oral diseases admitted in consultation at the dental clinic of the Hospital of Mènontin in 2018.

Methodes : This descriptive study, prospective to aim analytic focused on a population of 50 people suffering from oral disease namely. This consisted of performing the NFS on the samples using the SYXMEX XS 500i PLC in order to record the leucocyte values.

Results : The results reveal that, the average age is 37.02 ± 16.11 years with a female predominance (66%). Cellulite predominates with 38% inducing leukocytosis (52.63%). For caries, 13.33% had leukopenia, while for gingivitis and periodontitis; all had a normal white count. Similarly, the establishment of the leucocyte formula reveals that patients with caries have a 6,66% monocytosis, a lymphopenia 33,33%, a eosinopenia 26,7% and a neutropenia 26 67%. While periodontitis resulted in 40% monocytosis, 33.33% lymphopenia, and 40% basophilia. On the other hand, gingivitis leads to 63.16% lymphopenia, 45.45% to eosinopenia and 18.18% to neutropenia. Finally, cellulite leads to 80% lymphopenia, 26.32% monocytosis, 10.53% basophilia, 47.37% eosinopenia and 52.63% neutrophil respectively.

Conclusion: In view of these results, the leucocyte variations depend on the dental affection and can have consequences on health.
