Abstract

Mouth ulcers are a cutaneous complication that can often affect kidney transplant patients, mostly due to the effect of immunosuppressive treatment. Even so, before asserting that said complication is indeed secondary to drugs, it is very important to establish a differential diagnosis with other mouth ulcer causes, such as systemic diseases or viral infections, which are also common in these patients.
