[Immunological investigations in lichen planus patients (author's transl)]
Abstract
30 patients suffering from generalized lichen planus (= L.p.) have been examined by the following methods in order to more precise information regarding their immune-status: 1. Quantitative determination of immuno-globulins including complement fraction (beta 1C/A) 2. Intracutaneous tests with recall-antigens 3. Investigation of cutaneous sensitivity to DNCB 4. Lymphocytemigrationinhibition- and Lymphocytetransformationstests. The results obtained were not statistically significant when comparing the results of this investigation in patients suffering from L.p. with the control group. Therefore, the theory that immunological processes are the basis of these occurences is still under discussion. Further studies applying more specific methods should be conducted in order to clarify this problem.
