Localized pemphigoid simulating dyshidrosiform dermatitis

Abstract: A patient had a localized, persistent vesicular eruption of the feet that was clinically identical to dyshidrosiform dermatitis. Direct and indirect immunofluorescent studies revealed a bullous pemphigoid (BP) pattern. Antibody blocking experiments showed the patient's circulating basement membrane zone antibody to be identical to that of classical BP. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms of localized BP are discussed.

“…Only microscopy, DIF in particular, permitted a correct diagnosis. Our patient was almost id entical to the patient described by Levine et al [1] in both clinical features and course. She also had the same erythematous-papu lar lesions on the back which have been con sidered to be a sign of the actual spreading of the disease [2], but did not respond to dapsone as well.…”

“…Distinguishing BP from other AIBDs of the dermal-epidermal junction may be difficult, especially cicatricial pemphigoid (CP) and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. Indeed, BP has many clinical variants including mucosal involvement, a clinical feature theoretically characteristic of CP and EBA [8, 9, 10, 11]. Moreover, histological and standard immunofluorescence findings may be shared by BP, CP and EBA patients, and usually do not allow to clearly distinguish these diseases [12, 13, 14].…”

“…Zmiany skórne mają charakter guzków lub grudek, którym towarzyszy nasilony świąd [19]; -postać erytrodermiczna -ma obraz uogólnione-go stanu zapalnego skóry z obecnością złuszcza-nia, pęcherze zwykle nie występują, przynajmniej w początkowym okresie choroby. Ta odmiana sprawia szczególne trudności diagnostyczne [20]; -postać dyshydrotyczna -przypomina wyprysk pot nicowy rąk i stóp, klinicznie objawia się obecnością drobnych pęcherzyków tworzących skupiska z towarzyszącym nasilonym świądem [21]. Bardzo rzadką odmianą pemfigoidu jest postać, w której nie stwierdza się zmian skórnych, natomiast dominującym lub jedynym objawem jest nasilony świąd [22].…”
