Abstract

Bullous pemphigoid is the most common autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease in elderly people. The disease typically manifests on the skin and the mucosa with tense bullae or erosions with surrounding erythema, but in up to 20% of afected patients, bullae may be completely absent. The localized or generalized skin lesions usually present with itch. The author presents the rare, atypical forms of the disease, the most common triggering and predisposing factors, and the new therapeutic recommendations according to the European guidelines.
