Autoimmune bullous diseases: diagnosis and management
Dermatol Nurs.
2006 Feb.
Abstract
Autoimmune bullous diseases are a heterogenous group of diseases characterized by cutaneous and mucosal vesicles and bullae. Diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical, histopathological, and immunofluorescence findings. Current treatment, including vigilant wound care, significantly reduces disease morbidity and mortality.
