“…Male preponderance (60%) was noted in lichen planus in our study. Similar findings were noted by Rahnama et al 6 and Seema 5 on the contrary studies by Singh and Kanwar 3 , Kumar et al 4 and Anand 7 showed female preponderance. In the present study, 35 cases (57.37%) were classical Lichen planus.…”

Background: Papulosquamous lesions of the skin are encountered with considerable frequency. There is overlap of both clinical pattern and distribution of papulosquamous skin disorders, which often makes clinical diagnosis difficult. However, some of the histopathological features are specific and characteristic for each entity. Hence, combination of proper clinical observation and histopathological study will give a conclusive diagnosis. Material & Methods: A cross sectional study was done in department of pathology in which after satisfying inclusion criteria all papulosquamous lesion patients irrespective of age & gender were included in study in defined period. A brief history and dermatological examination was carried out. Skin biopsies taken were fixed in 10% formalin and subjected for tissue processing. The processed tissue was embedded in paraffin to obtain five-micron thin sections. The sections were stained with routine hematoxylin and eosin stain, followed by microscopic examination. Result: Out of 61 patients of papulosquamous lesion most common diagnosis was Lichen planus, (57.37 %) followed by Psoriasis (32.78 %). Commonest age group reporting Lichen planus & Psoriasis was 21-40 yrs. Male preponderance was noted in all papulosquamous lesion patients. Histological features commonly seen were hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis in both Lichen planus & Psoriasis patients.

“…Indeed, the other Iranian case-control studies were in agreement with this hypothesis and reported non-significant associations between these conditions. Specifically, Rahnama et al [13] reported an OR of 0.7 (95CI 0.1-6.9), while the OR estimated using the data reported by Ghaderi and Makhmalbaf [14] was 6.4 (95CI 0.7-62.6). The overall HCV prevalence among OLP patients, obtained merging the data of all Iranian studies, was in line with HCV prevalence in the general population.…”

“…One study [20] was not included because HCV prevalence was not assessed through anti-HCV antibodies, while two studies [21,22] were excluded because control subjects were not examined for anti-HCV antibodies. The remaining primary studies, listed along with the present study, in Table 4, amounted to 43 [6,8,13,14,. In order not to miss important information, twelve studies with zero values among exposed cases and/or controls were corrected using the centre of the distance between zero and the lowest detectable level.…”

The magnitude of the association between hepatitis C virus infection and oral lichen planus: meta-analysis and case control study

et al. 2011

Although hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with oral lichen planus (OLP), a case-control study and a meta-analysis were designed to investigate the magnitude of such an association. A total of 413 presumptive OLP patients (18-75 years) who referred to a dental clinic in Rasht (Iran) were consecutively selected. OLP was diagnosed clinically (typical forms) and histologically (atypical forms) by a calibrated examiner. A total of 487 adults (20-77 years) attending the same dental clinic were the controls. The two groups were homogeneous in terms of age, gender and occupation. Subjects were tested for anti-HCV antibodies. The odds ratio (OR) for OLP attributable to HCV infection was non-significant [OR 1.2, 95% confidence interval (95CI) 0.3-4.8], suggesting that the association between HCV and OLP was weak in the Iranian context. Meta-analysis of observational studies characteristics of primary studies were that cases were diagnosed clinically (only typical forms) and histologically and exposure was assessed through anti-HCV antibodies. Exposed/unexposed cases/controls were extracted and zero values were appropriately transformed. As much as 44 studies, including the present, were located. Publication bias could not be totally excluded. The pooled OR, estimated using the random-effect model, was 2.8 (95CI 2.4-3.2). Sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of results. Subgroup analysis showed non-significant differences between American/European and Asian/African studies. The fraction of global OLP cases associated with HCV (population attributable fraction) was 2.1% (95CI 1.9-2.2%). Although HCV and OLP were significantly associated, the majority of OLP patients were not affected by HCV.
