Özet

Background and Design: Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that most commonly affects the skin and oral mucosa. Vitamin D is a steroid hormone with immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The purpose of this study was to evaluate serum vitamin D levels in patients with LP and to compare these with those of healthy control subjects.
