Abstract

Lichen planus is a common, chronic inflammatory disease of the skin and mucous membrane for which no precise causes have been confirmed. But it is often connected with infections. Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) among various bacteria has been associated with the cause of gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. Considering the similarities of histological features between gastric ulcer and oral ulcers, it is resonable to assume that H. pylori might also be involved in the development oral mucosal ulceration. So we employed this study to investigate the possible involvement of H. pylori in the aetiology of erosive oral lichen planus. We analyzed detection rate of H. pylori in saliva of patients with erosive oral lichen planus by nested PCR. As a result, it revealed a significant difference statistically by showing positivity in 16 to 21(76.2%) saliva samples of patients group and in 11 of 44(25%) saliva samples of control group(P>0.001). We were able to suppose that H. pylori in saliva can be related to cause of erosive oral lichen planus.

편평태선은 피부와 점막에 발생하는 흔한 만성 염증성 질환으로 정확한 원인은 잘 알려져 있지 않으나 종종 감염과 관련 되어있다. 다양한 박테리아 중 Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori)는 위염, 위 십이지장 궤양 그리고 위암과 관련되어 있다. 위궤양과 구강 궤양들의 조직학적 특징의 유사성을 고려할 때 H. pylori는 구강 점막궤양의 발생과 관련 있음을 추론할 수 있다. 따라서 미란성 구강편평태선의 발생에 H. pylori가 관련 있는지를 조사하기위해 이 연구를 수행하였다. 미란성 구강편평태선을 가진 환자의 타액을 중합효소연쇄반응에 의해 분석한 결과 21명의 환자 중 16명(76.2%)에서 H. pylori가 검출되었고, 대조군은 44명 중 11명(25%)에서 H. pylori가 검출되어 통계적 유의성을 나타내었다(P>0.001). 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 타액내 H. pylori는 미란성 구강편평태선의 발생에 원인이 될 수 있음을 추론할 수 있었다.
