A Case of Vesicular Pemphigoid / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

We report herein a case of vesicular pemphigoid in a 39 year-old female, who had 1 month history of multiple, pruritic vesicles with erythematous maeules on the whole body, especielly on the flexural surface. The histological findings showed subepidermal vesicle which contained many neutrophils. Direct immvnofluorescent study of perilesional skin revealed linear deposits of C along the dermoepidermal junction and indirect immunofluorescent study revealed linear deposits of immunoglobulin G and Cy along the dermoepidermal junction. Initially, dapsone was tried without any benefit but skin lesions were controlled by a combination therapy of prednisolone and cyclphosphamide.
