Persistency of Bullous Pemphigoid Lesions on a Burn Scar: A Clinically Proven Locoregional Immune Dysregulation
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A case of a 75 year old woman with drug-induced bullous pemphigoid is reported. Lesions also involved the site of a burn scar. Systemic steroid therapy proved to be effective on all lesions except for the ones located on the burn scar. In this patient the scarred area acted as a ‘vulnerable’ site, not only facilitating the localization of bullae on the scar (Koebner phenomenon), but also rendering these lesions resistant to the steroid treatment that proved to be effective elsewhere. The persistency of bullae precisely and solely on the burn scar features another facet of the immunocompromised district.

Background: Most of patients with bullous pemphigoid are at old age and its differentiation from other bullous diseases is important. There is no report of it in Iran. Objective: This study was done in order to determine clinical and paraclinical features, natural course and response to treatment in patients with bullous pemphigoid admitted in Loghman Hakim Hospital in 1992-1997.

Lichen planus pemphigoides (LPP) is a rare autoimmune blistering disease that is characterized by the development of vesico-bullous skin lesions in patients with lichen planus. The histopathology of LPP reveals a sub_epidermal blister with linear deposition of IgG and /or C3 along the dermal_epidermal junction (DEJ) upon direct immunofluorescence (DIF). We hereunder describe a case of lichen pl...

To the Editor: We read with great interest the letter by De Vita et al published in this issue of the Journal that discusses the putative mechanisms underlying our case of radiation-induced hidradenitis suppurativa. The authors suggested this clinical presentation to be a typical example of ‘‘isoradiotopic response,’’ where the onset of a new skin disease is strikingly limited to a skin area pr...
