BACKGROUND IgA pemphigus is a rare neutrophilic acantholytic autoimmune disease that is characterized by IgA deposits on keratinocyte cell surfaces. Clinically and histologically, IgA pemphigus is divided into 2 major subtypes: subcorneal pustular dermatosis and intraepidermal neutrophilic IgA dermatosis. We report the first case of subcorneal pustular dermatosis-type IgA pemphigus that showed ...

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease which can be associated with many pathologies including degenerative neurological diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Studies have suggested the possibility of crossimmune responses through "epitope spreading". Bullous dermatosis has been reported to be secondary to neurological disease, at intervals ranging from ...

BACKGROUND Autoimmune bullous diseases (ABDs) represent a group of rare, acquired disorders characterized by overlapping features with involvement of the skin and mucous membranes, resistance to treatment, and potential lethality that comprise pemphigus, bullous pemphigoid (BP), epidermolysis bullosa, dermatitis herpetiformis, and linear immunoglobulin A bullous dermatosis. AIM The main aim o...

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a subepidermal blistering disease associated with circulating autoantibodies directed against structural components of hemidesmosomes, adhesion complexes promoting epithelial-stromal adhesion in human skin, and other complex epithelia. Two hemidesmosomal proteins, the BP antigen 180 (BP180) and the BP antigen 230 (BP230), have been shown to be the target antigens.1,2 ...

Introduction: Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune bullous dermatosis that most commonly occurs in elderly patients. Due to its pathogenesis and treatment of the disease, it can also affect development comorbidities. Aim: Determination comorbidities their frequency patients with pemphigoid, as well distribution by sex estimation duration from onset symptoms data collection. Material methods: In ...

Pemphigoid gestationis (PG) is a rare autoimmune bullous dermatosis of pregnancy usually presents in the second or third trimester. It is characterized by pruritic, urticarial plaques with the development of tense vesicles and bullae within the lesions. Pathogenesis of PG is not fully established, however, most patients develop circulating autoantibodies targeting the bullous pemphigoid (BP) 18...
