ABSTRACT

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a rare autoimmune blistering condition that predominantly affects the elderly population. Typical treatment regimens target the immune system and inflammatory response. We present a case of BP in a 78-year-old male patient that occurred following the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. This case was refractory to topical steroids and immunosuppressants. However, it responded to treatment with dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody therapy. Dupilumab is classically indicated for the treatment of asthma, eosinophilic esophagitis, atopic dermatitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis. We highlight the importance of considering the off-label use of dupilumab and its success in treating BP.
