Inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis and photosensitive erythema may trigger autoimmune blistering diseases such as pemphigus. These dermatoses can facilitate the autoimmune response, leading to blisters in susceptible individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Autoimmune Diseases
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Pemphigus is a group of autoimmune blistering diseases affecting the skin and mucous membranes.
  • The role of pre-existing inflammatory dermatoses in the pathogenesis of pemphigus is not fully understood.
  • Psoriasis and photosensitive erythemas are common inflammatory skin conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe cases of pemphigus developing on pre-existing inflammatory dermatoses.
  • To explore the potential role of inflammatory dermatoses as local factors in pemphigus development.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of pemphigus foliaceus developing on psoriasis.
  • Case report of pemphigus erythematosus developing on photosensitive erythemas.
  • Review of potential pathomechanisms linking inflammatory dermatoses and pemphigus.

Main Results:

  • Pemphigus foliaceus developed at sites of pre-existing psoriasis.
  • Pemphigus erythematosus developed on lesions of photosensitive erythemas.
  • Inflammatory dermatoses may act as local triggers for autoimmune blistering in pemphigus.

Conclusions:

  • Pre-existing inflammatory dermatoses can serve as local factors that facilitate the autoimmune response in pemphigus.
  • This facilitation may lead to the induction of blistering cutaneous lesions in patients with subclinical autoantibodies.
  • Further research is warranted to elucidate the precise mechanisms involved.
