title: Lichen striatus.
abstract: The possible relationship between lichen striatus and atopy was studied. Twenty-six patients with typical lichen striatus were studied, and 22 (84.6%) had a positive history of atopic disorders. This might indicate that the pathogenesis of lichen striatus has a close relationship to that of atopic disorders.
