Lack of Relationship between Oral Lichen Planus and Hepatitis B and C Virus Infection: A Report from Southeast of Iran
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<p>Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic autoimmune disease with an unknown etiology. Dentists are usually the first medical practitioner to diagnose this condition. The condition affects all the body parts including the oral mucosa. Several studies have reported a relation between the OLP and hepatitis B and C. Current work aimed to define the occurrence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) antigen and hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody in OLP patients compared with healthy controls. In this case-control study, 50 patients with clinical and histopathological characteristics of OLP, as well as 50 healthy controls were studied. Both groups were similar in terms of age and sex. Serum samples (5 mL) were collected from the patients for the evaluation of HBV antigen and HCV antibody using ELISA technique. Data were analyzed using SPSS Software, version 21. Chi-square test was used as appropriated. In present study, 50 patients with OLP (33 females and 17 males) with mean age of 42 ± 14.5 years, and 50 healthy subjects (33 females and 17 males) with mean age of 41.88 ± 13.73 years were evaluated. HBV antigen and HCV antibody were detected in none of the subjects (P &gt; 0.05). We didn't found any relation between OLP and viral hepatitis. This may be due to lower occurrence of hepatitis viruses in comparison to hyper endemic countries for these viruses or genotypic discrepancy of the viruses or other factors contributing for these patients.</p>

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
