Evaluation of cellular proliferative activity in patients with oral lichen planus and hepatitis C through AgNOR method.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the cellular proliferative potential of oral lichen planus (OLP) lesions from patients without hepatitis C virus (HCV) by means of AgNOR method, as well as the cellular proliferative potential of the normal oral mucosa from patients with HCV, treated or untreated by interferon and ribavirin. A cross-sectional study was developed to investigate four gr...

The serum samples of 78 consecutive patients with cutaneous and/or mucous LP and 82 control patients were analyse...
