Bullous pemphigoid: simple measures for a complex disease

Abstract

Simple descriptive population data are potentially helpful in understanding how bullous pemphigoid (BP) originates and evolves over time. Before embarking with etiological correlations, artifacts and biases should be ruled out. Ideally, epidemiological data should be complemented by immunological and genetic analyses aimed at providing better insight into the causation and prognosis of BP.
