Different View on Lichen Disease; Platelet Lymphocyte Ratio

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Lichen planus is an inflammatory dermatosis of mucocutaneous surfaces with various clinical manifestations. In this study, we wanted to investigate NLR, PLR rates and MPV values in lichen planus disease METHODS: Thirty-five patients over the age of 18 and 30 healthy controls were followed up with lichen diagnosis of my work. Leukocyte, erythrocyte, platelet, hemoglobin, platelet volume values were determined in hemogram tests. The NLR ratio was obtained by dividing the number of neutrophils by the number of lymphocytes and the TLR ratio by dividing the platelet count by the lymphocyte count. RESULTS: The mean age of the participating was 43.0+-14.1, leukocyte level was 6.7 (5.6-8.3) hemoglobin level was 14.5+-1.6, and the value of MPV was 8.6 (7.9-9.0). The platelet value was 262.1+-52.2, the neutrophil value was 3.5 (2.9-4.9), and the lymphocyte value was 2.3 (2.1-2.8). Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio 1.5 (1,0-1,9), platelet lymphocyte ratio 110.4+-29.7. Hemoglobin levels were significantly higher in males than females DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: This study showed that TLO, NLO and OTH values did not change in lichen patients. In spite of many expensive markers showing systemic inflammation, PLR, NLR and MPV are simple and cheap markers.
