Pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta and pityriasis lichenoides chronica: comparison of lesional T‐cell subsets and investigation of viral associations

Background: Pityriasis lichenoides (PL) exhibits a broad clinical spectrum that includes both acute and chronic forms. The precise biologic mechanisms underlying PL remain unclear.
