“…As five cases of BS, 1,7,8 including the present two, have been diagnosed by the present author's group in less than 8 years, we support the opinions that BS may have been largely misdiagnosed or neglected in China. 1 The mechanisms of bullous formation remain unknown, although deposition of complement three or various immunoglobulins alone or in various combinations, or circulating IgG were detected in some of the cases. 1 The possible pathogenesis for BS is considered including autoeczematization, superinfection, the direct injury or secretion of lytic enzymes by the scabies mites, and cross-reactivity of scabies protein with basement membrane zone antigens.…”
