Abstract

Background: Lichen It is believed that dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus have a tight relationship with the aetiology of papulosquamous chronic plaques, or lichen planus (LP). The goal of this study is to examine all aspects of LP patients' blood procalcitonin levels and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratios, including their epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical features. Conclusions: The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and serum procalcitonin levels show potential as diagnostic indicators for LP. Their strong associations with illness severity point to their possible use in measuring the severity and scope of this ailment.
Topics covered include lichen planus, serum procalcitonin, and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio.
