“…Previous studies have reported a strong impact of disease on quality of life (QoL) in patients with pemphigus. Studies conducted using different tools have invariably observed that both the physical and mental components of health status are seriously compromised in such patients, and that the burden of disease was worse in patients with recent disease onset and, as expected, in more clinically severe cases …”

“…Studies conducted using different tools have invariably observed that both the physical and mental components of health status are seriously compromised in such patients, and that the burden of disease was worse in patients with recent disease onset and, as expected, in more clinically severe cases. [3][4][5][6][7] Moreover, a strong association was found between psychiatric morbidity and poor QoL in patients with pemphigus, and a high percentage of patients at increased risk of anxiety and depression has been identified in different studies. 8,9 Corticosteroids, immunosuppressive and biological drugs are commonly usedalone or in associationto treat the disease.…”

The autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBDs) are a group of heterogeneous skin diseases with autoantibodies directed against structural proteins in the skin. A new interest in the female bias towards autoimmune diseases in general has led to our attention to focus on how and why this female bias manifests in AIBD. The authors aim to review and explore the various aspects of AIBD affecting females more than males, including the higher prevalence, worse quality of life, and complex management issues such as pregnancy and lactation.
