Childhood epidermolysis bullosa acquisita: Confirmation of diagnosis by skin deficient in Type VII Collagen, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and immunoblotting

Indian Journal of Dermatology, 2016
Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is an acquired subepidermal bullous disorder characterized by autoantibodies against Type VII collagen. It usually affects adults; childhood EBA is rare. We describe a 10-year-old girl presenting with recurrent tense

Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk) in neutrophils is indispensable for initiating and maintaining skin inflammation in a model of pemphigoid diseases

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk) is essential for B cell function. Its role in myeloid cells is less understood. Greater insights into Btk significance in myeloid cells are needed to evaluate its potential as a therapeutic target during the effector phase of antibody‐induced autoimmune diseases, where inhibiting autoantibody ...

Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita

Vestnik dermatologii i venerologii, 2015
Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is a form of pemphigoid which may come with scarring that looks like dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa hereditaria. This subtype with scarring is named mechanobullous EBA, because blisters are evoked by sudden mechanical trauma, such as hitting the back of the hand to the edge of a table.
