Abstract
Background:
In the late 1800s there was much confusion over the nomenclature and classification of persistent, very itchy vesiculo-bullous eruptions.
Objective:
To review Dühring's contribution to clarifying this confusion.
Conclusion:
By his detailed, perceptive, clinical, and histologic reports over many years, Dühring contributed greatly to organizing our clinical concepts of bullous disorders.
