Bullous pemphigoid on psoriasis lesions after UVA radiation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The occurrence of bullous pemphigoid (BP) in patients with psoriasis has occasionally been reported. Most previously reported cases attributed the occurrence of BP in psoriasis to photochemotherapy, such as PUVA, UVA and UVB (1–4). We describe here a patient who initially had psoriasis vulgaris and subsequently developed BP after treatment with UVA for psoriasis. Histopathologic, direct immunofluorescence microscopy (DIF), indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) and immunoblot features fit the diagnosis of BP.
