Abstract
Plaque-like lesions of the oral mucosa were observed in 7 immunosuppressed renal transplant patients. While bearing a superficial resemblance to acute pseudomembranous candidiasis (thrush), these lesions were associated with bacterial overgrowth and not with fungi. Treatment depended on the use of appropriate antibiotics and antiseptics together with measures to cause disintegration of the mucoid matrix of the lesions.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
