摘要
Introduction: Recurrent aphthous ulcers (RAU) are one of the most common ulcers in oral cavity. Several studies have shown conflicting variations for inflammatory cytokines and other biologic markers in RAU. Aim: The aim of the present study was to determine the level of IL-8 and IL-6 in the serum of patients with RAU. Materials and method: In this case-control study, serum levels of IL-8 and IL-6 levels were measured in patients with RAU (n=40) and in healthy control subjects (n=40). The cytokines levels were measured in serum by ELISA. The SPSS software was used to analyze the results. Results: The mean value of IL-8 and IL-6 in patients (52.24 pg/ml and 9.39) was 10 and 4 fold higher than control group (5.01 pg/ml and 2.09 pg/ml), respectively. The difference was statistically significant (t-test p=0.01). Conclusion: The results of our study showed that serum levels of IL-8 and IL-6 were significantly higher in patients compared to controls.
