Trauma-induced bullous pemphigoid.

A W Macfarlane, J L Verbov

    Clinical and Experimental Dermatology
    |May 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Localized blistering eruptions can be caused by trauma-induced bullous pemphigoid. This condition, confirmed by diagnostic tests, requires consideration in differential diagnoses for skin blistering.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Immunodermatology

    Background:

    • Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering disease.
    • Localized blistering can present diagnostic challenges.

    Observation:

    • Three patients presented with bullous pemphigoid manifesting as blisters predominantly at trauma sites.
    • Minimal spread of lesions beyond these localized areas was noted.

    Findings:

    • Histology and immunofluorescence confirmed bullous pemphigoid in all cases.
    • Electron microscopy excluded epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) in two patients.
    • Systemic steroids or ACTH were effective treatments.

    Implications:

    • Trauma-induced bullous pemphigoid is a distinct clinical presentation.
    • It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of localized blistering eruptions.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for patient management.
