Skuteczność działania ozonoterapii w leczeniu mucositis jamy ustnej indukowanej chemioterapią u onkologicznego pacjenta w wieku rozwojowym – opis przypadku

Oral mucositis (OMBI) is a common side effect of chemo- and radiotherapy, which are use to cancer treatment. The clinical symptoms are: erythematous, ulcers that appear over time, which may be painful and cause difficulty in food intake, secondary fungal and bacterial infections. Among the methods of treatment, we distinguish laser therapy, ozone therapy, cryotherapy and local treatment. The paper presents the case of a 12-year-old patient with B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia, treated according to the AIEOP-BFM-ALL 2017 protocol, who developed oral mucositis IV°. Bleeding from wounds after laser therapy were noticed. Ozone therapy was applied. After 6 treatments significant lesion healing was observed. The use of ozone therapy in the case of necrotic-ulcerative lesions in the course of oral mucositis in a patient in the developmental age may lead to the healing of the lesions, which allows the continuation of antitumor therapy.
