Furthermore, reported having pharyngitis, stomatitis herpes labialis often. There no significant difference (mean PSR index; 1.87 versus 1.77) or DMFS; 51.3 53.7) between two cohorts. positive correlation Helicobacter pylori infection severity periodontitis found (p=0.036). Conclusion: predisposes infections does not influence This first controlled include detailed clinical history investigations, together full adults IgAD.
