[Experience obtained in the treatment of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (author's transl)]

Three different methods employed within the framework of complex therapy were used to treat 195 patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis: 1. Alterative therapy using prodigiosan, a bacterial polysaccaride. 2. Desensitizing treatment using histaglobulin, an antihistaminic agent. 3. Symptomatic local treatment. The methods of treatment are described in detail. General therapy allowed the frequency of relapses and the duration of disease to be reduced and shortened, respectively. The use of a complex form of therapy is recommended.
