Coexistence of psoriasis and pemphigoid--only a coincidence?
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has previously been reported that pemphigoid coexists with psoriasis more frequently than it could be predicted on the basis of random distribution in the general population. In this study we present three psoriatic patients who developed tense blisters, which most likely were not provoked by anti-psoriatic treatment. Diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid in these cases was established by an overlay antigen mapping technique by laser confocal microscopy, immunoblotting and ELISA. In the context of these cases and the literature, we also discuss possible reasons for the coexistence of psoriasis and pemphigoid as well as selected aspects of diagnosis and therapy of patients simultaneously suffering from these two diseases.

The common disease site is the dermo-epidermal junction or basal membrane zone (BMZ), with specific alterations for both diseases. Photochemotherapy (PUVA) is one of the therapeutic modalities for psoriasis and can trigger production of autoantibodies against antigens in the BMZ in ...

متن کاملBullous pemphigoid on psoriasis lesions after UVA radiation.

Most previously reported cases attributed the occurrence of BP in psoriasis to photochemotherapy, such as PUVA, UVA and UVB (1–4). We describe here a patient who initially had psoriasis vulgaris and subsequently developed BP after treatment with UVA for psoriasis. Histopathologic, direct immunof...
