Oropharyngeal Candidiasis (OPC) og S-ECC (Oral-Thrush)
11. juli 2025 opdateret af: Temple University
Association of Early Candida Infection (Oral Thrush) and Severe Early Childhood Caries (S-ECC)
Det overordnede formål med denne undersøgelse er at undersøge sammenhængen mellem tidlig Candida-infektion (kendt som oral thrush eller oropharyngeal candidiasis, OPC) hos børn i løbet af det første leveår med indtræden og sværhedsgraden af alvorlig caries i tidlig barndom (S-ECC).

Detaljeret beskrivelse
Det overordnede mål med denne undersøgelse er at udføre et longitudinelt observationsstudie for at undersøge sammenhængen mellem tidlig OPC og starten og sværhedsgraden af S-ECC for bedre at forstå rollen af Candida (især C. albicans) i alvorlig caries i barndommen. Efterforskerne vil teste hypotesen om, at OPC er forbundet med S-ECC ved at modificere plaque-mikrobiotaen og øge virulensen på en måde, der er befordrende for den tidlige udvikling af sygdommen.
Til denne undersøgelse vil i alt 60 spædbørn (i alderen 6-15 måneder) med eller uden en historie med OPC i deres første leveår blive tilmeldt, baseret på inklusions- og eksklusionskriterierne. Forsøgspersoner vil få deres medicinske/tandlægehistorie gennemgået fra lægejournaler. Ved hvert studiebesøg (Baseline, 6-måneders, 12-måneders, 18-måneders og 24-måneders opfølgninger) vil en mundtlig undersøgelse inklusive bløddels- og cariesundersøgelse blive udført af en kalibreret evaluator. Prøver af tandplak/podningsprøver vil blive indsamlet ved hvert studiebesøg. Derudover vil der også blive indsamlet en omfattende undersøgelse, herunder demografisk status, mundhygiejne, kost, levering og fodringsmetode samt det aktuelle medicinforbrug.
