Lichen planus

Lichen planus (LP) is 'n langdurige inflammatoriese toestand wat meestal volwassenes in hul middeljare affekteer. Dit kan op die vel of slymvliese verskyn, soos die mond, vagina, slukderm, stemkas en oogvoering. LP kom in verskillende vorme voor, afhangende van hoe die uitslag lyk en waar dit voorkom. Studies dui daarop dat sekere tipes LP, soos dié wat die slukderm of oë affekteer, dalk nie genoeg gediagnoseer word nie. Sommige vorme van LP, soos die hipertrofiese en erosiewe tipes in die mond, kan besonder lastig wees en lank hou. Ander faktore soos medikasie of kontak met sekere stowwe kan soortgelyke uitslag veroorsaak.
Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that most often affects middle-aged adults. LP can involve the skin or mucous membranes including the oral, vulvovaginal, esophageal, laryngeal, and conjunctival mucosa. It has different variants based on the morphology of the lesions and the site of involvement. The literature suggests that certain presentations of the disease such as esophageal or ophthalmological involvement are underdiagnosed. The burden of the disease is higher in some variants including hypertrophic LP and erosive oral LP, which may have a more chronic pattern. LP can significantly affect the quality of life of patients as well. Drugs or contact allergens can cause lichenoid reactions as the main differential diagnosis of LP.

Lichen planus is 'n veltoestand wat gekenmerk word deur perserige, plat bulte en kolle wat intense jeuk kan veroorsaak. Hierdie velletsels kan ontstellend wees, veral wanneer hulle die mond of geslagsdele ernstig aantas. In ernstige gevalle kan oral lichen planus selfs die risiko verhoog om 'n tipe velkanker te ontwikkel. Dit kan ook die kopvel en naels beïnvloed. Alhoewel die oorsaak van die meeste gevalle onbekend is, kan sommige veroorsaak word deur sekere medikasie of hepatitis C-infeksie. Behandeling behels tipies sterk ys vir gelokaliseerde gevalle en orale steroïede vir meer wydverspreide.
Lichen planus is a skin condition marked by purplish, flat-topped bumps and patches that can cause intense itching. These skin lesions can be distressing, especially when they affect the mouth or genitals severely. In severe cases, oral lichen planus may even increase the risk of developing a type of skin cancer. It can also affect the scalp and nails. While the cause of most cases is unknown, some may be triggered by certain medications or hepatitis C infection. Treatment typically involves strong creams for localized cases and oral steroids for more widespread ones.

Lichen planus is 'n toestand waar die immuunstelsel ontsteking veroorsaak, wat kenmerkende merke op die vel en slymvliese tot gevolg het. Dit raak ongeveer 5% van volwassenes, meer dikwels vroue, en begin gewoonlik rondom middeljarige ouderdom. Mondelinge betrokkenheid word in tot 77% van gevalle waargeneem, wat meestal die binnewang aantas. Terwyl sommige mense dalk geen simptome voel nie, kan ander pyn ervaar en probleme hê met sekere kosse (bv. Suur, pittige) of tandepasta.
Lichen planus is an immune-mediated inflammatory condition leading to characteristic lesions on skin and mucous membranes. It presents in up to 5% of the general adult population with a female predilection (2:1); the onset is most commonly in middle age. Up to 77% of patients with lichen planus have oral disease, with buccal mucosa the most common subsite. The oral lesions may be asymptomatic, although a subset of patients have pain and difficulty tolerating certain foods (e.g., acidic, spicy) and toothpaste.

Om die diagnose van kutane lichen planus te bevestig, kan 'n velbiopsie gedoen word. Direkte immunofluoressensie (DIF) kan nuttig wees by pasiënte met bullose letsels om die toestand van 'n outo-immuun vesikulobullose siekte te onderskei.
