Benign familial chronic pemphigus (Hailey-Hailey disease) presents with varied symptoms and locations. Most patients with this chronic skin condition responded well to corticosteroids and antibiotics.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Histopathology
  • Immunofluorescence

Background:

  • Benign familial chronic pemphigus (BFCP), also known as Hailey-Hailey disease, is a rare genetic blistering disorder.
  • The condition is characterized by recurrent blistering, erosions, and crusting, primarily affecting intertriginous areas.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the semiologic and localization characteristics of benign familial chronic pemphigus.
  • To highlight solitary or atypical presentations of the disease.
  • To discuss histopathologic findings and direct immunofluorescence results.

Main Methods:

  • Evaluation of ten patients diagnosed with benign familial chronic pemphigus.
  • Histopathological confirmation of diagnosis in all cases.
  • Analysis of direct immunofluorescence findings in skin biopsies.

Main Results:

  • Varied semiologic and localization patterns were observed among the ten patients.
  • Histopathological differences were noted and discussed.
  • Direct immunofluorescence provided diagnostic insights.
  • The majority of patients showed a positive response to treatment with corticosteroids and antibiotics.

Conclusions:

  • Benign familial chronic pemphigus exhibits diverse clinical presentations.
  • Histopathology and direct immunofluorescence are crucial for diagnosis.
  • Corticosteroids and antibiotics are effective therapeutic options for most patients.
