Antigastric parietal cell and antithyroid autoantibodies in patients with desquamative gingivitis

ConclusionWe conclude that 73.4% DG, 77.1% EOLP/DG, and 47.4% EOLP/DG− patients may have GPCA/TGA/TMA positivity in their sera. Because part of GPCA‐positive patients may develop pernicious anemia, autoimmune atrophic gastritis, and gastric carcinoma, and part of TGA/TMA‐positive patients may have thyroid dysfunction, these patients should be referred to medical department for further management.
