Clinical measures of bullous pemphigoid / 中华皮肤科杂志

ABSTRACT

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a group of autoimmune blistering skin diseases.There are special measures for the assessment of disease severity and therapeutic response in autoimmune bullous skin diseases.Common scoring indexes include autoimmune bullous skin disorder intensity score (ABSIS),bullous pemphigoid disease area index (BPDAI),and so on.ABSIS has been validated,and is widely applied in evaluation of pemphigus vulgaris and other autoimmune blistering diseases.BPDAI is still in the process of verification,and has been applied in only a few clinical trials.The evaluation of diseases by ABSIS and BPDAI is both based on a global assessment of skin and mucosal lesions,and degree of subjective pruritus.
