Bullous pemphigoid in an infant

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, 1995
SUMMARYAn acral blistering eruption in a 10 week old baby was found on histology and direct immunofluorescence to be bullous pemphigoid. Circulating auto‐antibodies were not detected. He responded quickly to oral prednisolone and there have been no sequelae.

The immunopathology of bullous pemphigoid

Clinics in Dermatology, 1987
Abstract The immunopathology of bullous pemphigoid features basement membrane zone (BMZ) deposition of immunoglobulin and complement and the presence of circulating immunoreactants. 1,2 The demonstration of linear subepidermal deposition of C3 and/or IgG is usually necessary to establish the diagnosis.

Bullous and cicatricial pemphigoid

Journal of Autoimmunity, 1991
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) and cicatricial pemphigoid are blistering mucocutaneous diseases characterized by detachment of the overlying epithelium from its stroma. IgG and complement components are deposited in all affected tissue at the level of blister formation--through the lamina lucida of the epithelium. The primary antibody response is of the IgG 4

Bullous pemphigoid and penicillamine

Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 1996
We describe a woman who developed bullous pemphigoid in association with penicillamine therapy. While pemphigus is a well-recognized complication of penicillamine, pemphigoid should also be considered in the differential diagnosis of bullous eruptions induced by this drug.

Pathogenesis of Bullous Pemphigoid

Dermatologic Clinics, 2011
Bullous pemphigoid, the most common autoimmune blistering disease, is induced by autoantibodies against type XVII collagen. Passive transfer of IgG or IgE antibodies against type XVII collagen into animals has revealed not only the pathogenicity of these antibodies but also the subsequent immune responses, including complement activation, mast cell ...

Erythrodermic bullous pemphigoid

International Journal of Dermatology, 2001
Case 1 An 87‐year‐old man, with a 2‐year history of a generalized exfoliative erythroderma involving approximately 90% of the body, presented with an onset of tense blisters symmetrically distributed on most of his body.Clinical examination revealed generalized erythema, edema, moderate lichenification, and scaling, with several tense and grouped ...

The Pathophysiology of Bullous Pemphigoid

Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology, 2007
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a blistering skin disease characterized by an autoimmune response to 2 hemidesmosomal proteins within the dermal-epidermal junction, designated BP180 and BP230. While BP230 localizes intracellularly and associates with the hemidesmosomal plaque, BP180 is a transmembrane glycoprotein with an extracellular domain.

Treatment of Bullous Pemphigoid

The Journal of Dermatology, 2003
AbstractBullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most frequent auto‐immune blistering skin disease. Up to recently, it was treated with oral corticosteroids. High dose steroids are poorly tolerated in the elderly and probably contributed to the high mortality rates observed in several cohorts.
