Carmen M Montagnon et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2021 Jul.

Abstract

Subepithelial autoimmune blistering dermatoses are a group of rare skin disorders that are characterized by the disruption of the dermal-epidermal junction through the action of autoantibodies. The third article in this continuing medical education series explores the background, epidemiology, clinical features, and diagnostic criteria of each of the major subepithelial autoimmune blistering dermatoses, including bullous pemphigoid, pemphigoid gestationis, lichen planus pemphigoides, mucous membrane pemphigoid, linear IgA bullous dermatosis, and dermatitis herpetiformis.

Keywords: bullous eruption of systemic lupus erythematosus; bullous pemphigoid; dermatitis herpetiformis; drug-induced bullous pemphigoid; epidermolysis bullosa acquisita; herpes gestationis; lichen planus pemphigoides; linear IgA bullous dermatosis; mucous membrane pemphigoid.
