Bullous pemphigoid associated with acute glomerulonephritis

M A Barnadas et al. Br J Dermatol. 1998 May.

Abstract

We report an 82-year-old man who presented with bullous pemphigoid and who later developed an acute glomerulonephritis with the histopathological and immunofluorescence pattern of a postinfectious glomerulonephritis. Antibodies directed against 230 and 180 kDa bullous pemphigoid antigens were detected in the patient's serum by means of the immunoprecipitation technique. Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus were isolated from the patient's skin. We consider that in this particular patient the cutaneous infection played a part in the development of the kidney complication.
