Abstract:

A case-report of burning mouth syndrome is presented. A 27-year-old man complained of burning pain in the tongue and oral mucosa, taste disorder, and sensory impairment. All symptoms appeared after suffering a cold and had a wave-like course during self-medication with antibiotics. The pain has continued for 8 months. Diagnoses of atypical facial pain, glossodynia or secondary facial pain (craniomandibular dysfunction) were made. The effect of treatment in the hospital (carbamazepine, amitriptyline, haloperidol, phenozepam) was not achieved. A microbial test showed a higher number of pathogenic microbes. The final diagnosis was secondary facial pain (burning mouth syndrome) with concomitant lesions of the oral mucosa (Staphylococcus aureus, Candida sp.). The patient received a combined therapy with the pronounced positive effect.
