    Lichen planus and hepatitis c virus infection: an epidemiologic study
    (Wiley, 2004) Harman, M; Akdeniz, S; Dursun, M; Akpolat, N; Atmaca, S
    The reported prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in patients with lichen planus (LP) shows variations from different regions. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of HCV infection in patients with LP, in Diyarbakir region of Turkey. A total of 128 patients with LP and 128 healthy controls were detected for HCV infection, using a third generation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Eight of 128 patients (6.25%) with LP were found to have anti-HCV antibodies, whereas only one patient (0.78%) in control group was found to have anti-HCV antibodies. A statistically significant difference was found between LP and control group (p < 0.001). In conclusion, the coexistence of HCV infection and lichen planus is more than coincidental, and it is appropriate to screen all patients with lichen planus for HCV infection.

    The seroprevalence of varicella zoster antibodies in Behcet's and other skin diseases
    (Springer, 2003) Akdeniz, S; Harman, M; Atmaca, S; Akpolat, N
    The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of the varicella zoster virus (VZV) IgG, and IgM antibodies with Behcet's and other skin diseases (group 1: recurrent aphthos stomatitis, fungal infections, psoriasis; group 2: vitiligo, lichen planus). Twenty eight patients with Behcet's disease ( BD), and 117 patients with dermatological disorders other than BD were evaluated for specific VZV IgG and IgM antibodies by using a third generation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The Mantel Heizshel chi(2) method was used to adjust the confounding of age and sex of the patients. The serological positivity for VZV IgG and IgM antibodies in BD was not statistically different from other skin diseases. When we considered the age of the patients, chi(2) = 2.64, CI (0.27-1.65), odds ratio (1, 1.25, 2.21) (p = 0.10) and when we considered the sex of the patients, chi(2) = 0.31, CI (0.81-1.28), odds ratio (1, 1.45, 1.41), (p = 0.57).
