RESUMO

This study evaluated the prevalence and correlation of tongue disorders, iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia in 38 type1 diabetic children and adolescents in Joinville, SC. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic multisystemic complex metabolic disease, characterized by relative or absolut insulin secretion insuficiency and/or concomitant resistence to the insulin action in the tissues. The term diabetes comprises various diseases with a common finding of hiperglicemia, classified as type 1 and 2, pregnancy diabetes and other specific types diabetes. Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia are high prevalence in children and adolescents and can make changes in the oral structures, as the tongue, causing papillary atrophy. Otherwise, the HbA1c, a laboratory parameter for evaluation of diabetes mellitus, may be altered in the presence of iron deficiency anemia. The patients were clinically and haematologically evaluated for detection of iron deficiency or iron deficiency anemia. The results showed no statistically significant correaltion of tongue disorders, specially papillary atrophy, with iron deficiency in the studied population (p=0,05). Based in the results of this study, it was possible to conclude that: tongue alterations were not related to diabetes mellitus type1, papillary atrophy could not be related with diabetes mellitus type 1 and could not be considered a clinical sign of iron deficiency in the evaluated group of patientes.
