Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory and relapsing. The average prevalence is 1 to 4%. The clinics forms are many and symptoms are varied. The erosive form, painful and debilitating is characterized by erosive areas, ulcerated on an erythematous base with or without a keratinocyte lichenien network.
The literature data moving towards an autoimmune origin, but the pathophysiological mechanisms of OLP remain unknown.
This project represents the first part of a comprehensive project to examine the oral pathogenesis of different viruses (Herpes and papillomavirus HPV) and centered on Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV).
