舌痛症(glossodynia)由于无肉眼可见的器质性变化,因而诊断和治疗比较困难。作者把舌痛症患者的临床血液检查与健康人相比较,发现部分患者有贫血或锌缺乏症。研究对象以1980年1月到1986年3月的6年3个月间在庆応义塾大学医院口腔外科就诊的舌痛症患者为研究对象,共90例,其中男10例,女80例,平均年龄为54.6岁。由于要检查贫血和微量元素,因此选择与舌痛症患者同期就诊的、有器质性变化的口腔粘膜病患者47例(男16例,女31例,平均年龄为51.5岁)作为对照 Glossodynia Diagnosis and treatment are difficult because of no macroscopic organic changes. The author compared the clinical blood tests of patients with tongue pain with those of healthy people and found that some patients had anemia or zinc deficiency. The subjects were 90 patients (10 males and 80 females) with tongue pain who were treated in oral surgery at Keio University Hospital in January 1980 to March 1986 for 6 years and 3 months. The average age is 54.6 years old. Because of the need to check for anemia and trace elements, 47 patients with organic oral mucosal disease (16 males and 31 females, mean age 51.5 years) were selected as controls with simultaneous treatment of tongue pain patients as controls
