AR-SA In recent years, Medical science has been
developed remarkably in treatment of malignant diseases. New treatment
modalities, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy in patients with
different types of neoplasm have cured some cases and increased their life
long. On the other hand, considerable complications have also been developed
for both patients and clinicians. Viral infections of oral cavity in patients
receiving chemotherapy is ignored in most cases. Therefore, we aimed to
evaluate viral infections in hospitalized patients receiving chemotherapy in
Hematology department of Amiralam and Imam Khomeini Hospitals. On this account
84 patients with leukemia (AML,ALL, CML, CLL) and lymphoma ( hochkin and non
hochkin) who were in immunosuppression phase after chemotherapy were evaluated
in 3 months. Lower incidence of viral infections in comparison to the results
of other countries were obtained.
