Resumen
Objetivo: Informar sobre un caso clínico utilizando Fotobiomodulación (FBM) en el tratamiento de la mucositis oral (MO) en una paciente de 15 años con síndrome de Down (SD) y leucemia linfoblástica aguda (LLA), detallando el tratamiento realizado y la conclusión del caso. Detalles del caso: Una paciente blanca de 15 años fue ingresada en el Hospital Universitario Alcides Carneiro, diagnosticada con LLA y en tratamiento de quimioterapia con metotrexato a altas dosis. Desarrolló MO, manifestando lesiones orales dolorosas que dificultaban su capacidad para alimentarse. Como tratamiento, se inició la terapia con FBM, ajustando el enfoque según los niveles de colaboración variables de la paciente. Después de algunas sesiones, se observó una mejora significativa en la cicatrización de las lesiones y en la reducción del dolor, lo que le permitió retomar la alimentación oral sin molestias significativas. Consideraciones finales: La experiencia clínica observada en este estudio subraya la relevancia e importancia de utilizar FBM como una intervención valiosa para el manejo de la MO en pacientes vulnerables, incluyendo a aquellos con SD en tratamiento de quimioterapia.
