Mucous membrane pemphigoid with antibodies against β3 subunit of laminin-332: First report from India

A case of mucous membrane pemphigoid involving the trachea and bronchus with autoantibodies to β3 subunit of laminin-332.

Brunsting-Perry pemphigoid of the scalp with antibodies against laminin 332.

3 and 2 -chains from the squamous carcinoma cell line SCC25), recombinant 230-kDa BP antigen (BP230) and 180-kDa BP antigen (BP180; baculoprotein expression system) as previously described [4] . By ELISA, there was strong IgG reactivity against laminin 332 and reactivity against a distinct BP180 epitope (midportion of the BP180 ectodomain, aa residues 809–1106). The lesion healed with topical c...

Mucous membrane pemphigoid

Introduction Identifying risk factors for leprosy reactions can preempt clinicians to initiate prompt treatment to prevent associated morbidities. Thus, a retrospective study was done to elucidate the risk factors among 44 newly diagnosed leprosy patients in Sarawak General Hospital from 1993 to 2007. Materials and methods Case folders were searched for demographic data, clinical characteristic...

HIV Patient with Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid: A Case Report

BACKGROUND Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid, a new denomination of cicatricial pemphigoid, encompasses a group of chronic subepithelial autoimmune blistering diseases that predominantly affect the oral cavity and the eyes (conjunctivitis and symblepharon). CASE DETAILS A rare case of Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid (MMP) in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patient is discussed with clinicoh...
