LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Drug-induced Erythema Multiforme-like Bullous Pemphigoid

چکیده
Sir, Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a common autoimmune blistering disease in the elderly, with an early manifestation of urticarialike and pruritic erythematous lesions which subsequently lead to the formation of bullae. The diagnosis is con¢rmed by the histological and immuno£uorescence ¢ndings (1). Despite its autoimmune origin, some reports demonstrate a clear induction of BP by PUVA and drugs (2). We report here a case in which BP was induced by antipsychotics and antidepressant drugs. During the recovery period, doxycycline was observed to exert a positive e¡ect on the BP.
