The results showed that 12 [27.9%]patients with lichen planus were positive for HBs-Ag, 9 [20.9%]were positive for anti-HCV antibodies and 3 [7%]were positive for both. In cutaneous vasculitis patients, 3 [15.8%]were HBs-Ag-positive, 7 [36.8%]were anti-HCV-positive and 3 [15.8%]were positive for both. In the control group, 8 [26.7%]were HBs-Ag positive, 3 [10%]were anti-HCV-positive and 1 [3.3%]was positive for both. These values were not statistically significant |
