Abstract
Abstract Bullous pemphigoid (BP) and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) are both acquired autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBD) of the skin and mucous membranes. BP is characterized by IgG autoantibodies to two hemidesmosomal components, BP180 and BP230, at the cutaneous basement membrane zone (BMZ).(1) EBA is characterized by IgG autoantibodies to type VII collagen at the cutaneous BMZ.(2) Clinically BP and EBA may be difficult to distinguish from each other and from other AIBDs like mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP). Here, we report the second case of BP associated with EBA. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
