The effect of zinc sulfate on prevention, incidence, and severity of mucositis in leukemia patients undergoing chemotherapy.

CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicated that zinc sulfate reduced the incidence and severity of mucositis in leukemia patients undergoing chemotherapy. As zinc sulfate prevented and relieved mucositis in leukemia patients under chemotherapy, using zinc sulfate is recommended in clinical setting. Yet, further studies are suggested to confirm these findings. PMID: 29551172 [PubMed - in process]
