Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita.
Autoimmunity to type-WI collagen is characterized by autoantibodies predominantly of lgG class to the non-collagenous domain of type-WI collagen present in the anchoring fibrils which bind basement membrane lamina densa to the anchoring plaques in the dermis. This results in a sublami.na densa split with a blister formation. Type WI collagen autoim.munity is heterogenous in its clinical spectru...
متن کاملAcute renal failure in a patient with epidermolysis bullosa acquisita*
Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita is a severe autoimmune subepidermal bullous disease. In this report, we described for the first time a patient with epidermolysis bullosa acquisita who developed acute renal failure. There is a possibility that epidermolysis bullosa acquisita and acute renal failure's pathogenesis shared some common autoimmune pathways. Moreover, acute blood volume reduction may ...
متن کاملEpidermolysis bullosa acquisita and Crohn's disease.
A patient with epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) associated with Crohn's disease is presented. The clinical, histological and immunological findings were in keeping with previous reports. However, clinically normal skin and mucosa exhibited deposits of IgG and C3 in the basement-membrane zone. These deposits remained unchanged during the treatment period. It is therefore suggested that immu...
متن کاملClinical Presentation, Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita
Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is a chronic mucocutaneous autoimmune skin blistering disease. The pathogenic relevance of autoantibodies targeting type VII collagen (COL7) has been well-documented. Therefore, EBA is a prototypical autoimmune disease with a well-characterized pathogenic relevance of autoantibody binding to the target antigen. EBA is a rare disease with an incidence of 0.2...
متن کاملEpidermolysis bullosa acquisita: what's new?
Type VII collagen is an adhesion molecule of the extracellular matrix in epithelial basement membranes, and the main constituent of anchoring fibrils at the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ). Autoimmunity against this protein is causing the rare organ-specific epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA). EBA is a rare acquired, heterogeneous, chronic blistering disease of skin disease of skin and mucou...
