Compared with other serum and blister fluid proteins, total hemolytic complement was reduced in the blister fluid of six serologically positive bullous pemphigold patients while four serologically negative cases had blister fluid complement levels closely approaching the serum levels. Except for pemphigus vulgaris blisters. blister fluids from most patients with other bullous diseases and exper...

Autoimmune bullous diseases are a group of cutaneous disorders characterised by skin blistering or erosions as a result of development of autoimmunity. It can be classified according to the anatomical sites of blister into two types: intraepithelial and subepidermal. It can be subdivided further according to the clinical features, type and location of immunoreactants found on skin biopsy (Table...

Scabies, a parasitic infestation caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, is diagnosed by observing either the mite, its ova, or its excrement. The mite tracts, known as burrows and a characteristic presentation of the pruritic condition, are typically found on the web spaces between the fingers. Other cutaneous lesions include excoriated papules, pustules, and vesicles. However, atypical clinical...
