This case study highlights a patient initially diagnosed with bullous pemphigoid who later developed diffuse panbronchiolitis. Early diagnosis and treatment with erythromycin improved pulmonary symptoms and radiographic findings.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pulmonology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune blistering disease.
  • Diffuse panbronchiolitis is a chronic airway inflammatory disease.

Observation:

  • A 64-year-old woman presented with blisters, diagnosed as bullous pemphigoid via immunofluorescence and anti-BMZ antibodies.
  • She later developed exertional dyspnea, cough, and radiographic signs of diffuse panbronchiolitis.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid confirmed by linear IgG and C3 deposition in the epithelial basement membrane zone.
  • Diffuse panbronchiolitis diagnosis supported by chest imaging, high cold hemagglutinin titer, elevated IgA, and pulmonary function tests indicating hypoxemia.

Implications:

  • This case illustrates a potential co-occurrence or progression of autoimmune blistering disease and chronic airway inflammation.
  • Low-dose erythromycin demonstrated efficacy in managing pulmonary symptoms and radiographic findings of diffuse panbronchiolitis.
