Sažetak
Stinging of the tongue or glossopyrosis may be an early sign of general disease of the organism caused by different etiological factors. It is thus rather difficult to give a correct diagnosis and subsequently to determine an adequate therapy. Varios laboratory investigations are used in the diagnosis of the etiological factors leading to glossopyrosis. In recent times specific enzymatic methods have been applied in the determination of the vitamin-B group supplies of which we know that they have a special significance in the differential diagnosis of diseases, of which stinging of the tongue is an accompanying symptom. These investigations were made in this connection. In a group of patients selected at random, who for a longer period have been undergoing treatment for glossopyrosis in the Departement for Diseases of the Mouth Faculty of Stomatology, University of Zagreb, attempts were made to determine by means of enzymatic methods the supply of the organism with thiamine, riboflavine and pyridoxine in addition to the usual laboratory investigations, i. e. gastric secretion, blood picture etc. The resulte showed that the thiamine and riboflavine supply was normal in different clinical pictures and different laboratory findings of patients suffering from glossopyrosis. The pyridoxine quantity, however, was reduced in all these cases.
