Gingival hyperplasia is a known complication of cyclosporin therapy. Although plaque control has been shown to be of benefit, gingival surgery is occasionally necessary. The aim of this study was to review the effect of a short-course therapy with azithromycin in renal transplant patients with cyclosporin-induced gingival hyperplasia.
