Doxycycline versus prednisolone as an initial treatment strategy for bullous pemphigoid: a pragmatic, non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial [PDF]

open access: yesLancet, The, 2017
Background: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a blistering skin disorder with increased mortality. We tested whether a strategy of starting treatment with doxycycline conveys acceptable short-term blister control whilst conferring long-term safety advantages ...

Pemphigoid diseases

Lancet, The, 2013
Pemphigoid diseases are a group of well defined autoimmune disorders that are characterised by autoantibodies against structural proteins of the dermal-epidermal junction and, clinically, by tense blisters and erosions on skin or mucous membranes close to the skin surface.

Pemphigoid gestationis

Clinics in Dermatology, 2012
Pemphigoid gestationis is a rare autoimmune subepidermal bullous dermatosis that occurs during pregnancy and postpartum. Diagnosis is made on the basis of the presence of a subepidermal vesicle on routine histologic examination and of linear deposition of complement along the basement membrane zone of perilesional skin.

Bullous pemphigoid

Nature Reviews Disease Primers
Bullous pemphigoid is a chronic, subepidermal autoimmune blistering disease characterized by tense blisters on erythematous or normal skin that predominantly affects the older population. The disease arises from autoantibodies targeting hemidesmosomal proteins BP180 and BP230, which are crucial for dermal-epidermal adhesion.

Pemphigoid Nodularis

Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, 2015
Background Pemphigoid nodularis is a rare clinical variant of bullous pemphigoid characterized by overlapping clinical features of both prurigo nodularis lesions and bullous pemphigoid blisters. The condition appears to be more common in females and is often resistant to treatment. Objective To raise awareness of this rare variant of bullous pemphigoid.

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2000
Cicatricial pemphigoid (CP) is a heterogeneous group of rare, chronic, subepithelial blistering disorders of the mucous membranes and, occasionally, the skin, which can have serious and rarely fatal consequences. The most common clinical features are desquamative gingivitis, oral erosions, and conjunctival fibrosis.

Cicatricial pemphigoid

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1991
Cicatricial pemphigoid is a subepidermal blistering disease that involves the mucous membranes and the skin. The oral cavity and the eye are most frequently involved. The clinical course is of long duration, and often there is significant scarring that can have devastating sequelae. The majority of the patients are elderly. The disease is characterized

Cicatricial Pemphigoid

Southern Medical Journal, 1993
This case of CP is of interest because of its "not-so-benign" course in this patient, its unusual immunofluorescence patterns, and the need for a complex therapeutic regimen to achieve control. This patient had severe ocular; laryngeal, and oropharyngeal involvement leading to visual problems, hoarseness, and marked weight loss and dehydration. He also

Localized pemphigoid

British Journal of Dermatology, 1976
Of 144 patients with bullous or cicatricial pemphigoid, nine with localized pemphigoid were seen at the Mayo Clinic between 1968 and 1975. In two patients the disease had become generalized before presentation, and in one it had evolved into bullous pemphigoid, the only case with positive indirect immunofluorescence.

Bullous Pemphigoid

Dermatologic Clinics, 1987
Bullous pemphigoid is an acquired subepidermal blistering disease of the elderly characterized by tense blisters. Patients with bullous pemphigoid have circulating and tissue-bound antibodies that are directed against a normal component of the epidermal basement membrane.
