Abstract: Objective To investigate the anxiety and depression of the patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS), and explore the relationships among anxiety-depression and immunity. Methods 31 female patients with BMS were investigated by Manifest Anxiety Scale (MAS), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD),humoral immunity and lymphocyte subpopulation tests. The correlation among anxiety-depression and immunity was analyzed. The data were analyzed by SPSS19.0. Results The level of IgE in the anxiety group was lower than the non-anxiety group.The level of Helper T cells (CD4+) and ratio of CD4+/CD8+were lower than the control group. The level of the total lymphocyte in the depression group was lower than the control group, while the level of the natural killer cells was higher. These differences were significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The levels of cellular immunity and humoral immunity in anxiety group have differences with those in non-anxiety group.The level of cellular immunity in depression group has differences with that in non-depression group.
