Relationship of Stress, Leukocyte Functions and Acute Ulcerative Gingivitis.

Abstract

Our third year in the study has thus far resulted in additional correlation of the first two years findings. The ANUG patients appear to be suffering from anxiety and depression which may be correlated by a tendency for increase in psychologic disturbances. Also it appears as though increased susceptibility to the causative microorganisms may be based on decreased lymphocyte and PMN(Polymorphonuclear Neutrophil) function. Originator supplied keywords include: Acute necrotic ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG), Stress, Leukocyte function.
