Lingua Villosa Nigra Developing After Amoxicillin-Clavulanic Acid Use in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report
Abstract
Black hairy tongue (lingua villosa nigra) is a painless, self-limiting and benign clinical condition characterized by a desquamation defect in the posterior part of the tongue dorsum and reactive hypertrophy of the filiform papillae of the tongue. Although the etiopathogenesis is not clearly known, the use of some drugs, poor oral care, smoking / alcohol consumption, and excessive black tea and coffee consumption are among the causes in the etiology. Black hairy tongue is less common in pediatric patients than in the adult population. In this article, we present a case of black hairy tongue that developed after the use of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid in a pediatric patient.

Pediatrik Hastada Amoksisilin-Klavulanik Asit Kullanımı Sonrası Gelişen Lingua Villosa Nigra: Olgu Sunumu
Abstract
Siyah kıllı dil (lingua villosa nigra), dil dorsumunun arka tarafında deskuamasyon kusuru ve dilin filiform papillalarında reaktif hipertrofi ile karakterize olan, ağrısız, kendini sınırlayan ve benign özelliklere sahip klinik bir durumdur. Etiyopatogenez net olarak bilinmemekle beraber bazı ilaçların kullanımı, kötü ağız bakımı, sigara/alkol tüketimi, aşırı siyah çay ve kahve tüketimi etiyolojide yer alan nedenler arasında gösterilmektedir. Siyah kıllı dil erişkin popülasyona oranla pediatrik yaş grubunda daha nadir görülür. Bu yazıda pediatrik hastada amoksisilin-klavulanik asit kullanımı sonrası gelişen siyah kıllı dil olgusu sunmaktayız.
