Abstract

In an open-label prospective study to investigate the effects of clarithromycin on oral mucositis in bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients, one group of patients received clarithromycin from day -7 until engraftment. The number of patients with severe mucositis in the control group was significantly higher than that in the clarithromycin group (p<0.05).
