INTRODUCTION Pemphigoid gestationis, also known as herpes gestationis, is a rare autoimmune blistering disease associated with pregnancy. It usually occurs during the second or third trimester, but it may be present at any stage of pregnancy or the puerperium. The clinical, histologic, and immunopathological features of pemphigoid gestationis are similar to those of the pemphigoid group of diso...

The Gulf Journal of Dermatology and Venereology ABSTRACT Psoriasis vulgaris and bullous pemphigoid represent two clinically well-characterized, chronic, inflammatory skin diseases. The concomitant occurrence of these two entities in a patient is rare, and the exact nature of this relationship is not clear. We describe a 31-year-old woman with a history of plaque-type psoriasis who presented wit...

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...

Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune sub epidermal blistering dermatosis that is uncommon in childhood. We report two cases of children with bullous pemphigoid. The first one was a case of a 4-month-old female infant, whereas the second is of a 3-month-old male infant. The two cases presented clinical and laboratory data for the confirmatory diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid. Opportunely we review...

A correlation between the titre of circulating IgG autoantibodies and disease activity has been difficult to demonstrate in bullous pemphigoid. We postulate that isotype switching from "inflammatory" IgG1 to "blocking" IgG4 subclass antibodies might contribute to disease remission. We studied 16 patients with bullous pemphigoid, 3 patients with cicatricial pemphigoid and 2 patients with epiderm...

Anti-p200 pemphigoid, also called anti-laminin-γ1 pemphigoid, is a recently defined entity. First reported in 1996, the incidence is relatively rare, with approximately 70 reports in the literature. Clinical presentation is heterogeneous, but the disease most commonly mimics bullous pemphigoid with urticarial papules, plaques, or tense bullae on the trunk or extremities. Described here is a cas...

Orf is a rare viral zoonosis due to Parapoxvirus infection. Transmission humans occurs through contact with infected goats and sheep. It may be complicated by fever, lymphangitis, lymphadenopathy, bacterial infection, erythema multiforme. Only several cases of autoimmune bullous dermatoses have been described. Bullous pemphigoid secondary an orf was found in ten patients. Herein, we report one ...

Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering dermatosis that is uncommon in childhood. We report a case of a female infant, 3 months old, which presented clinical and laboratory data for the confirmatory diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid. The authors used immunohistochemical staining for collagen type IV that allowed the differentiation of bullous pemphigoid from other subepidermal...

Thirty three patients admitted to the University Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Sestre milosrdnice University Hospital, were included in the study. The purpose of the study was to compare data on age and gender, habits, lesion localization, onset of symptoms and therapy between patients with pemphigus vulgaris and those suffering from bullous pemphigoid. Based on clinical presentati...
