Sažetak
Oral lichen ruber (OLR) is chronic mucocutaneous autoimmune disease. The etiology of this oral disease is not clear yet. It is supposed that some strange antigens adhere on keratinocytes surfaces and on that way change the antigenic structure of keratinocytes which can trigger an autoimmune response. The aim of this research was to test this hypothesis in classical pathogenesis of OLR. We examined the cytological smears (N=30) of OLF lesions (clinical and pathohystological confirmation was established) before and after antibiotic therapy and compared with the control group (N=30) of healthy subjects. Detection of bacterial adherence was done by mean of the light microscopy after Gram staining.The results showed significantly lower number of streptococci and other bacteria adhered to keratinocytes after antibiotic therapy, and the clinical status of patients was improved.
