摘要：
Systemic corticosteroids are of value in severe lichen planus which interferes with the patient's life or is ulcerative or where there is nail destruction. Azathioprine has been shown to be effective steroid sparing treatment for generalized lichen planus. We report two patients with severe lichen planus who responded to azathioprine alone and suggest it may be an alternative therapy, especially when there are risk factors against corticosteroid use.
