Previous studies have demonstrated that the inflammatory infiltrate in PLEVA is composed of cytotoxic suppressor T cells, whereas in PLC the helper\/inducer T\u2010cell population drives the immunological answer. Furthermore, monoclonal rearrangement of the T\u2010cell receptor\u2010\u03b3 (TCR\u2010\u03b3) genes was repeatedly found both in PLEVA and PLC.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Forty\u2010one formalin\u2010fixed, paraffin\u2010embedded tissue specimens of 40 cases of PL were retrieved from the files of the authors. Immunophenotyping for cytotoxic granular proteins (Tia\u20101\/GMP\u201017 and Granzyme B) and T\u2010cell\u2010related antigens (n\u2003=\u200341), TCR\u2010\u03b3 chain gene analysis (n\u2003=\u200330) and molecular investigations for parvovirus B19 (PVB19) DNA (n\u2003=\u200330) were performed.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Overlapping immunophenotypes were observed in PLEVA and PLC. The dermal and epidermal T cells predominantly expressed CD2, CD3, CD8, and Tia\u20101 with a variable positivity for CD45RA, CD45RO, and Granzyme B. A monoclonal rearrangement pattern of the TCR\u2010\u03b3 genes was detected in three cases (10%). PVB19 DNA was found in nine cases (30%). T\u2010cell monoclonality in conjunction with genomic PVB19 DNA was present in one case.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Our results demonstrate that PL is a skin disorder mediated by the effector cytotoxic T\u2010cell population. The identification of PVB19 DNA in nine cases may be interpreted ambiguously: PVB19 as a true pathogen or as an innocent bystander.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0303-6987.2004.00186.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,7,22]],"date-time":"2004-07-22T08:22:28Z","timestamp":1090484548000},"page":"531-538","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["Pityriasis lichenoides: a cytotoxic T\u2010cell\u2010mediated skin disorder.
