Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Bullous pemphigoid is a blistering eruption characterized by large, tense bullae on the flexor surfaces, trunk, and intertriginous regions. Bullae may arise on an inflammatory urticarial base or on previously normal skin. It is classified as a type II hypersensitivity reaction, with the formation of anti-hemi-desmosome antibodies. Occurs primarily in the elderly. Childhood bullous pemphigoid may affect infants, may be localized to vulva in girls.
