The cause of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) remains unknown despite considerable research. This article reviews the evidence for current theories regarding this disorder, including possible suspected relationships with microbial and immunologic factors, and presents medical diseases that mimic RAS lesions in certain patients. Topical management of the common form of minor RAS is described along with systemic therapy currently available to patients with severe forms of this disease.
尽管进行了大量研究，但复发性阿弗他口炎（RAS）的病因仍不清楚。本文回顾了有关这种疾病的当前理论的证据，包括与微生物和免疫因素可能的疑似关系，并介绍了在某些患者中模仿RAS病变的医学疾病。描述了轻度RAS常见形式的局部治疗方法以及目前针对这种疾病严重形式的患者可用的全身治疗方法。
