OBJECTIVES: The study aimed to understand the cause of glossitis that occurred among boarding students in a central school in Chhukha, Bhutan, and the outcome after 15 days of treatment with a vitamin B complex tablet.
METHODS: The researcher extracted data from the treatment records of patients treated for glossitis from 30 September 2020 to 30 October 2020 at the boarding school and conducted a retrospective descriptive study. A total of 97 records were used in the study: the age, gender,date of reporting to school, treatment, dietary preferences, and outcome of treatment.
RESULTS: In all, 63 (64.9%) patients were females. The students who were staying in the hostel for longer duration were more in proportion among the patients. About 80% of the patients had subjective improvement after treatment with two doses of one tablet of vitamin B complex tablet for 15 days. There were no deaths.
CONCLUSION: The study could not ascertain the definite cause of glossitis among boarding students but 80 % of the patients showed subjective improvement after treatment with daily two doses of 32.5 mg of vitamin B complex tablet. The study recommends a prospective study to understand the cause of glossitis among boarding students to prevent similar future outbreaks.
