ABSTRACT
Objectives:
The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of Herpes Simplex virus, Epstein Barr virusand Human Papilloma virus -16 in oral lichen planus cases and to evaluate whether any clinical variant, histopathologicalor demographic feature correlates with these viruses.StudyDesign:
The study was conducted on 65 cases. Viruses were detected immunohistochemically. We evaluatedthe histopathological and demographic features and statistically analysed correlation of these features withHerpes Simplex virus, Epstein Barr virus and Human Papilloma virus-16 positivity.Results:
Herpes Simplex virus was positive in six (9%) cases and this was not statistically significant. The numberof Epstein Barr virus positive cases was 23 (35%) and it was statistically significant. Human Papilloma viruspositivity in 14 cases (21%) was statistically significant. Except basal cell degeneration in Herpes Simplex viruspositive cases, we did not observe any significant correlation between virus positivity and demographic or histopathologicalfeatures. However an increased risk of Epstein Barr virus and Human Papilloma virus infection wasnoted in oral lichen planus cases.Conclusions:
Taking into account the oncogenic potential of both viruses, orallichen planus cases should be detected for the presence of these viruses (AU)
