180 Advanced diagnosis of inflammatory skin diseases: simultaneous immunofluorescence and histopathological assessment in cutaneous lupus and lichen planus using ex vivo confocal laser scanning microscopy
In this study, we aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of ex vivo CLSM in identifying histopathological features and basal membrane (BM) fluorescence with fibrinogen in lichen planus (LP) and as lupus band test in cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LE), as well as to compare its diagnostic accuracy with conventional histopathology and direct immunofluorescence (DIF) microscopy.
