Relationship of ANUG (Acute Necrotic Ulcerative Gingivitis), Stress, and Leukocyte Function.

Abstract

Our first year in the study has thus far resulted in some important findings. The ANUG patients appear to be suffering from anxiety which may be correlated by a tendency for an increase in serum cortisol, and an increase in urine cortisol. Also it appears as though increased susceptibility to the microorganisms may be based on decreased lymphocyte and PMN function.
