Immunofluorescence Pattern of Autoimmune Bullous Diseases in Iranian Patients
Background & Objective: Autoimmune bullous diseases are associated with autoimmunity against structural components in the skin and mucous membranes. Autoantibodies are against the intercellular junctions in pemphigus disease and hemidesmosomal unchoring complex in pemphigiod diseases and epidermolysis bullosa aquisita. The tissue-bound and circulating serum autoantibodies can be detect...
متن کاملAntiepiligrin cicatricial pemphigoid: an underdiagnosed entity within the spectrum of scarring autoimmune subepidermal bullous diseases?
BACKGROUND Antiepiligrin cicatricial pemphigoid (AECP) is a chronic autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease characterized by autoantibodies to laminin 5 and clinical features of cicatricial pemphigoid. Only a few patients with AECP have been described to date. The aim of the present study was to analyze the relative frequency of AECP among patients with the clinical phenotype of cicatricial ...
متن کاملTissue Factor in Dermatitis Herpetiformis and Bullous Pemphigoid: Link between Immune and Coagulation System in Subepidermal Autoimmune Bullous Diseases
Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) and bullous pemphigoid (BP) are skin diseases associated with eosinophilic and neutrophilic infiltrations. Although chemokines are critical for the selective accumulation and activation of various leukocyte subsets in the inflammatory process, there are few findings concerning inflammatory cells and production of coagulation factors in blistering diseases. Skin bio...
متن کاملEvaluation of direct immunofluorescense on salt split skin in the differentiation of subepidermal autoimmune Bullous dermatoses
Background: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the prototype of subepidermal autoimmune bullous dermatoses (SABDs). Direct immunofluorescence on salt split skin substrate (DIF-SS) is one of the methods used to differentiate this group of dermatoses. Objective: We conducted this study in order to delineate the results of DIF-SS in SABD patients. Patients and Methods: Seventeen patients with a BP-like cl...
متن کاملTherapy of autoimmune bullous diseases
Autoimmune bullous diseases result from an immune response to molecular components of the desmosome or basement membrane. Bullous diseases are associated with a high degree of morbidity and occasional mortality. Therapy of bullous diseases consists of suppressing the immune system, controlling inflammation and improving healing of erosions. The therapeutic agents used in the treatment of bullou...
