Unlabelled:
The case of a 76-year-old woman who developed blisters on both forefeet within 2 weeks of bilateral forefoot surgery is reported; the diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid was made by histological and immunofluorescence studies. The pathogenesis and management of this autoimmune condition, which occurs mainly in patients older than 70 years and may occasionally be associated with surgical wounds, are reviewed. It is important for foot and ankle specialists to be aware of and consider the diagnosis when a bullous contact dermatitis-like eruption persists at a surgical site.
