چکیده

© 2014 The Authors. doi: 10.2340/00015555-1781 Journal Compilation © 2014 Acta Dermato-Venereologica. ISSN 0001-5555 Pemphigus erythematosus (PE) is a variant of pemphigus foliaceus. PE patients exhibit the immunological features of both pemphigus and lupus erythematosus (LE), i.e. granular immunoglobulin (Ig) and C3 deposition in the basement membrane zone (BMZ), intercellular IgG and C3 deposition in the epidermis and the presence of circulating antinuclear antibodies (ANA) (1, 2). This report describes a case of PE in which skin lesions were induced by UVB irradiation.

The Protective Effects of Ultraviolet A1 Irradiation on Spontaneous Lupus Erythematosus-Like Skin Lesions in MRL/lpr Mice

We investigated the effects of ultraviolet A1 (UVA1) irradiation on spontaneous lupus erythematosus- (LE-) like skin lesions of MRL/lpr mice, using a disease prevention model. UVA1 irradiation significantly inhibited the development of LE-like skin lesions, without obvious changes of the disease including renal disease and serum antinuclear antibody levels. Besides the massive infiltration of m...

Pemphigus Foliaceus Associated with Psoriasis during the Course of Narrow-Band UVB Therapy: A Simple Coincidence?

Although psoriasis and bullous diseases are considered to be completely different disease entities, the literature has reported a few cases of psoriasis associated with bullous diseases, most of which are bullous pemphigoid. In limited cases, pemphigus foliaceus has also been reported in association with psoriasis. In most of them, pemphigus lesions usually developed on an untreated patient wit...

The IgG "lupus-band" deposition pattern of pemphigus erythematosus: association with the desmoglein 1 ectodomain as revealed by 3 cases.

BACKGROUND Pemphigus foliaceus is an autoimmune skin disease characterized by subcorneal blistering and IgG antibodies directed against desmoglein 1. In the skin, these antibodies deposit intraepidermally. On rare occasions,an additional “lupus band” of granular depositions of IgG and complement is seen along the epidermal basement membrane zone. This combined pattern has been connected with a ...

A Hypothesis Concerning a Potential Involvement of Ceramide in Apoptosis and Acantholysis Induced by Pemphigus Autoantibodies

Autoimmune diseases affect more than 50 million Americans, resulting in significant healthcare costs. Most autoimmune diseases occur sporadically; however, endemic pemphigus foliaceus (EPF) is an autoimmune skin disease localized to specific geographic loci. EPF, and the related diseases pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and pemphigus foliaceus (PF), are characterized by skin lesions and autoantibodies t...
