Clinicopathological correlation of blistering diseases of skin.
Blistering diseases are alarming skin conditions where blister formation occurs in various ways and cannot be differentiated clinically. For confirmation of diagnosis, along with routine histological examination, immunofluorescence study is essential. Tzanck smear may be used as a rapid diagnostic tool. We included here 34 cases of different blistering lesions. Other than routine Hematoxylin an...
متن کاملPassive transfer of collagen XVII-specific antibodies induces sustained blistering disease in adult mice
BACKGROUND Bullous pemphigoid is a subepidermal blistering disorder associated with tissue-bound and circulating autoantibodies directed mainly to the hemidesmosomal component collagen XVII. While recapitulating the main immunopathological features of the human disease, frank skin blistering does not develop in the absence of skin rubbing in experimental pemphigoid models that have been establi...
متن کاملAutoantibodies against adhesion molecules and structures in blistering skin diseases
E ven by clinical and histologic findings alone it is reasonable to suspect that the pathogenesis of certain blistering skin diseases might involve abnormalities in adhesion structures. The best defined buUous diseases in this regard are pemphigus (of which there are two basic types: vulgaris and foliaceus) and bullous pemphigoid (BP) (1-3). Histology shows that the blisters in pemphigus result...
متن کاملEvaluation of serum Prolactin levels in patients with autoimmune blistering skin diseases: A case-control study
Background: Prolactin, a neurohormone, can act as a stimulator of immunity in a number of autoimmune diseases and its high levels have been shown in these diseases. Objective: This study was designed to discover the possible role of prolactin in autoimmune blistering skin diseases. The main goal was to compare the serum prolactin levels and the frequency of hyperprolactinemia in autoimmune skin...
متن کاملSkin friction blistering: computer model.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Friction blisters, a common injury in sports and military operations, can adversely effect or even halt performance. Given its frequency and hazardous nature, recent research efforts appear limited. Blistering can be treated as a delamination phenomenon; similar issues in materials science have been extensively investigated in theory and experiment. An obstacle in studying bl...
