The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between HCV infection and OLP as there is a high prevalence of HCV infection in Taiwan. A total of 1,075 subjects aged at least 15 years participated in the study. The total prevalence of OLP was 3% (32/1,075). OLP was significantly associated with DM (odds ratio, OR, 3.09) and HCV (OR, 2.05). Atrophic-erosive OLP (13/32) and reticular OLP (21/32) were significantly associated with HCV and DM, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that elevation of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) significantly increased the risk of atrophic-erosive OLP. We concluded that OLP is significantly associated with HCV and DM in southern Taiwan, particularly in HCV patients with elevated serum ALT levels and atrophic-erosive OLP. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=15166 ------>authors2=Yang YH ------>authors3=Chang TT ------>authors4=Shieh DB ------>authors5=Liu SY ------>authors6=Shieh TY ------>authors6_c= ------>authors=Chung CH ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c= ------>publish_area=0 ------>updateTitle=Relationship of oral lichen planus to hepatitis C virus in southern Taiwan. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no=4 ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2004 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=4 |
