ABSTRACT

Introduction: The benign migratory glossitis, also known as geographic tongue, is a normal variant, which presents circular or irregular depapillated superficial areas. According to the literature reviewed, its causes include allergic processes, among these are food allergies. It was decided to carry out this investigation to determine the prevalence of frequent food allergies in these patients using skin tests. Materials and methods: A descriptive, longitudinal, prospective study was carried out. The sample consisted of 27 patients in the period January-August 2018, carriers of geographic tongue who underwent skin-type allergic tests to determine food allergies. Results: 59.3% were women without statistically significant predominance, the most frequent allergic history was allergic rhinitis. The most frequent history of food allergy was to dairy. Regarding the results of the tests for milk and shellfish, they were positive in 55.6%, followed by fish 14.8%, eggs and nuts with 11.1% respectively. The prevalence of positivity for at least one test was 85.2% with a statistically significant predominance over the negative result. Discussion: There is currently not enough literature that discusses the possible etiologies of benign migratory glossitis. Within the allergic history, allergic rhinitis was the most frequent, followed by food allergy. Until now there are few investigations that study this prevalence of food allergies in patients in a specific way. Conclusion: Geographic tongue does not have a predominant epidemiological factor, an allergic history can be a predisposing factor, food allergy can be a trigger for presentation of geographic language.
