Enalapril-induced lichen planus-like eruption

Mucosal (oral and vulval) lichen planus in women: are angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors protective, and beta-blockers and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs associated with the condition?

“…In all of our groups, fewer patients than controls were taking ACE inhibitors. This is surprising as there are many reports in the literature linking these medications with LP 6–9 . Potts et al.…”

“…This is surprising as there are many reports in the literature linking these medications with LP. [6][7][8][9] Potts et al 4 medications, although they did not specify the drugs (captopril and enalapril were in use at the time of publication).…”

Analysis of The Patients with Lichenoid Drug Reactions: A Retrospective Study.

“…Another group of drugs that is reported to be the most common cause of LDR is ACE inhibitors, betablockers, cardiovascular drugs including thiazide group diuretics (10,14,(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)27,(39)(40)(41)(42). Upadhayai et al found that atenolol and amlodipine were the main drugs causing LDR in their studies where they used antihypertensive agents (39).…”

“…These have been reported in domestic and foreign literature mostly case reports of patients who were hospitalized (4,(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28). We did not come across in the literature with any study that investigates only LDR.…”

IgG Autoantibodies from a Lichen planus pemphigoides Patient Recognize the NC16A Domain of the Bullous Pemphigoid Antigen 180

“…Finally, exogenous factors, such as drug exposure, might be critically implicated in disease initiation. It is not excluded that in our patient enalapril had a triggering effect, since angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors have been implicated in the induction of lichen-planus-like eruption, LPP and BP [26, 27, 28, 29, 30]. …”
