ملخص

In a prospective study at the Surgical Specialty HospitalMedical City Teaching Hospital, Baghdad30 immunocompromised patients with oral candidiasis (thrush) of the tongue were treated with diode laser irradiation, antifungal antibiotics or ordinary light irradiation as a placebo. A fungicidal effect was achieved in those treated by irradiation with 805 nm wavelength semiconductor diode laser using a power of 1W and continuous working mode for 3 minutes for 5 consecutive days, and also in those treated with antimycotics but the laser treatment was shorter (5 days) compared to the antimycotic treatment (10-21 days) and was used successfully in a renal transplant patient without interference with the drug regimen. It is concluded that light from a low power laser may be valuable in the treatment of oral candidiasis, especially in immunocompromised patients where the rate of recurrence is high and development of resistant strains is a possibility.
