[Gingival hyperplasia induced by cyclosporin A].

Cyclosporine-A (Cy-A) selectively inhibits T cell function with minimal effect on humoral immunity. It is used specially in transplantation patients and in some cases, like other drugs, it causes gingival hyperplasia. In this article, after a review of the most recent pathogenetic hypothesis, the authors present their experience based on 10 cases of gingival hyperplasia in kidney transplantation patients in treatment with Cy-A.
