“…Although there are some available reports showing an increased frequency of malignancy, Rzany and Weller and Venning and Wojnarowska showed that there is no accurate evidence on this association, and due to the prevalence of malignancy and BP in old age, this association is more likely to be a coincidence; similarly, in our study, only one case of malignancy was seen. In case control studies, the association of psoriasis, diabetes mellitus, and lichen planus with this disease has been observed .…”

“…There are several different types of skin-related autoimmune disorders including scleroderma, psoriasis, dermatomyositis, and autoimmune bullous disorders (11)(12)(13). The incidence and severity of autoimmune skin diseases may vary depending on the type of skin disorders, gender, age, and ethnicity (19,20).…”

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of bacterial vaginosis and skin disorders in patients with autoimmune antibody positivity. STUDY DESIGN: This retrospective study consisted of 80 patients with autoimmune antibody positivity. All patients were evaluated for the presence of bacterial vaginosis and skin disorders. Cervicovaginal smears were used for the definitive diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis. RESULT: We found bacterial vaginosis in 13.75% (11/80) of the cases. 1 (9.1%) and 10 (90.9%) cases had skin disorders in bacterial vaginosis positive and negative groups respectively (p=0.531). CONCLUSION: There is no relationship between bacterial vaginosis and the presence of skin disorders in patients with autoimmune antibody positivity.

“…Nevertheless, BP frequently presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Several cases of BP in patients with diabetes mellitus, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, dermatomyositis, lupus erythematosus, myasthenia gravis and autoimmune thrombocytopenia have been reported [ 3 , 4 ].…”

“…Recent higher estimates of BP rates may be related to improved diagnosis using modern laboratory techniques. So far, there is no indication for a geographic predilection of the disease [ 3 ].…”

Purpose: To report a first case of bullous pemphigoid (BP) following intravenous fluorescein for fundus angiography. Clinical Features: A 70-year-old male patient was admitted to the intensive care unit with BP and sepsis. He reported a history of fundus fluorescein angiography with a pre-diagnosis of senile macular degeneration 2 months prior to presentation. At that time, fluorescein extravasated at the antecubital region. Following the procedure, pruritus and erythema began at the wrists bilaterally, and quickly spread to the entire body. The patient also reported a history of allergy to human albumin solution (Plamasteril®; Abbott) 15 years before, during bypass surgery. On dermatologic examination, erythematous patches were present on the scalp, chest and anogenital region. Vesicles and bullous lesions were present on upper and lower extremities. On day 2 of hospitalization, tense bullae appeared on the upper and lower extremities. The patient was treated with oral methylprednisolone 48 mg (Prednol®; Mustafa Nevzat), topical clobetasol dipropionate 0.05% cream (Dermovate®; Glaxo SmithKline), and topical 4% urea lotion (Excipial Lipo®; Orva) for presumptive bullous pemphigoid. Skin punch biopsy provided tissue for histopathology, direct immunofluorescence examination, and salt extraction, which were all consistent with BP. After 1 month, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit with sepsis secondary to urinary tract infection; he died 2 weeks later from sepsis and cardiac failure. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of BP following fundus fluorescein angiography in a patient with known human albumin solution allergy. Consideration should be made to avoid fluorescein angiography, change administration route, or premedicate with antihistamines in patients with known human albumin solution allergy. The association between fundus fluorescein angiography and BP should be further investigated.
