Signs of Bullous systemic lupus erythematosus including medical signs and symptoms of Bullous systemic lupus erythematosus, symptoms, misdiagnosis, tests, common medical issues, duration, and the correct diagnosis for Bullous systemic lupus erythematosus signs or Bullous systemic lupus erythematosus symptoms.
A newborn black boy had two facial blisters at birth that progressed to bullous lesions over the trunk, genitals, extremities, and oral and tracheal mucosa. A biopsy specimen demonstrated a subepidermal bulla with mixed eosinophilic and neutrophilic, inflammatory infiltrate. Direct immunofluorescence showed linear IgA, IgG, and C3 depositions along the basement membrane zone, consistent with a diagnosis of childhood linear IgA bullous dermatosis (chronic bullous dermatosis of childhood). The skin disease was controlled with combined prednisone and dapsone. This is the youngest reported patient with the disease. Linear IgA bullous dermatosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of blistering diseases of the newborn, and immunofluorescence should be performed on a skin biopsy specimen ...
Subcorneal pustular dermatosis was first described by Sneddon and Wilkinson in 1956. It is a rare, benign, chronic relapsing sterile pustular eruption typically involving the flexural sites of the trunk and proximal extremities.
Bullous dermatoses can be debilitating and possibly fatal. A selection of autoimmune blistering diseases, including pemphigus vulgaris, paraneoplastic pemphigus, bullous pemphigoid, cicatricial pemphigoid, dermatitis herpetiformis and linear IgA dermatosis are reviewed. Pemphigus vulgaris usually starts in the oral mucosa followed by blistering of the skin, which is often painful. Paraneoplastic pemphigus is associated with neoplasms, most commonly of lymphoid tissue, but also Waldenströms macroglobulinemia, sarcomas, thymomas and Castlemans disease. Bullous pemphigoid is characterized by large, tense bullae, but may begin as an urticarial eruption. Cicatricial (scarring) pemphigoid presents with severe, erosive lesions of the mucous membranes with skin involvement in one third of patients focused around the head and upper trunk. Dermatitis herpetiformis is intensely pruritic and chronic, characterized by papulovesicles and urticarial wheals on the extensor surfaces in a grouped or herpetiform,
This case report finds that anti-type VII collagen autoantibodies can precede the clinical appearance of bullous systemic lupus erythematosus.

N2 - The skin is a common target of cellular and/or antibody mediated pathological immune responses. Pemphigoids, pemphigus vulgaris and dermatitis herpetiformis are bullous disease due to autoantibodies targeting specific proteins of the skin. The pemphigoid autoantigens are the BP180 and the BP230 antigens, two components of the epithelial basement membrane zone. Additional antigenic targets reported in a portion of patients are laminin 5, the α6 subunit of the hemidesmosomal integrin α6β4 and a glycoprotein termed p200. The epidermal and mucosal epithelial cells detachment (acantholysis) characteristic of pemphigus vulgaris is induced by autoantibodies ...
What are the aims of this leaflet?. This leaflet has been written to help you understand more about Linear IgA disease. It tells you what it is, what causes it, what can be done about it, and where you can find out more about it.. What is Linear IgA disease?. Linear IgA disease is a very rare blistering condition of the skin in adults. A similar condition affecting children is known as Chronic Bullous Disease of Childhood (CBDC).. The condition is called Linear IgA disease because a type of protein called immunoglobulin A (IgA) can be seen deposited under the outer layer of the skin (the epidermis) in a line (linear) when a small sample of skin biopsy is prepared specially and examined under the microscope.. What causes Linear IgA disease?. Often no cause can be identified. Sometimes, infections and occasionally medicines may trigger linear IgA disease. The disease is thought to be related to the immune system (IgA protein) attacking structures in the skin layers (i.e. it is an autoimmune ...

Anti-basement membrane antibody disease is a rare disorder characterized by the presence of autoantibodies binding to the alveolar and glomerular basement membranes, and mediating both alveolar hemorrhage and acute glomerulonephritis. We retrospectively analyzed 28 cases of anti-basement membrane antibody disease with alveolar hemorrhage proven by bronchoalveolar lavage. The median age of patients at diagnosis was 23 years; 68% were male, 89% were active smokers, and 36% were exposed to some other inhaled agent. At diagnosis, 46% had predominant pulmonary involvement with normal initial serum creatinine. Lung function tests disclosed a restrictive ventilatory defect in 28% (n = 11) and hypoxemia (moderate in 29% and severe in 29%, n = 21). Carbon monoxide transfer factor was elevated in only 25% (n = 12). Bronchoalveolar lavage was more sensitive than any other criterion for detecting alveolar hemorrhage. After onset of treatment, new hemoptysis or transient worsening of hypoxemia occu

N2 - Autoimmune blistering diseases are diverse group of conditions characterized by blisters in the skin with or without mucosal lesions. There may be great degree of clinical and histopathological overlap; hence, advanced immunological tests may be necessary for more precise diagnosis of these conditions. Direct immunofluorescence microscopy is the gold standard tests to demonstrate the tissue-bound antibodies and should be done in all cases. Magnitude of antibody level in patient serum can be assessed by indirect immunofluorescence and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.

Linear IgA disease (LAD) is an acquired autoimmune subepidermal bullous disease characterized by the linear deposition of IgA at the basement membrane zone. A minority of cases are induced by drugs, of which the most frequently implicated is vancomycin. The target antigens in idiopathic LAD are heterogeneous, but have not previously been reported in vancomycin-induced LAD. We report three cases, and in two of these we investigated the target antigens. In both we identified IgA antibodies to LAD285 and IgA and IgG antibodies (dual response) to BP180.

BACKGROUND: We have shown previously that human desmocollin (Dsc) 1 is recognized by IgA autoantibodies of subcorneal pustular dermatosis (SPD) type IgA pemphigus. However, the presence of IgG anti-Dsc autoantibodies is still controversial, and antibodies to Dsc2 and Dsc3 have not been clearly identified.. OBJECTIVES: To investigate this by producing recombinant proteins consisting of the entire extracellular domains of human Dsc1, 2 and 3 in baculovirus, and to use them to establish an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).. METHODS: By this ELISA, we examined in total 165 cases of various types of autoimmune bullous diseases, as well as 23 normal controls.. RESULTS: None of 45 sera of classical pemphigus showed either IgG or IgA antibodies to any Dsc. In contrast, one atypical pemphigus serum showed both IgG and IgA antibodies to Dsc1, which were adsorbed by incubation with Dsc1 baculoprotein. Furthermore, this ELISA detected both IgA and IgG anti-Dsc3 antibodies in one atypical case, and ...

BACKGROUND AND DESIGN: A previous study has suggested that there is a novel entity among the polymorphous eruptions of pregnancy (PEP) associated with circulating anti-basement membrane zone IgM autoantibodies. To determine if the presence of anti-basement membrane zone IgM autoantibodies is a feature of PEP, serum samples from 52 patients with a PEP, 69 healthy pregnant women, and 42 nonpregnant women were prospectively evaluated by indirect immunofluorescence using salt-split human skin as substrate. Serum samples were also tested by immunoblotting using keratinocyte extracts and anti-human IgM antibodies. The reactivity of some serum samples was examined using two recombinant bullous pemphigoid antigen proteins. RESULTS: The percentage of women with a PEP, healthy pregnant women, and nonpregnant women who had anti-basement membrane zone IgM antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence was similar: 12%, 10%, and 14% of cases, respectively. By immunoblotting, 14% of the serum samples fro
The autoimmune blistering diseases have a dramatic clinical presentation, and are significant diseases with substantial morbidity and mortality.The diseases can be split broadly pathologically into intraepidermal (pemphigus) and subepidermal (pemphigoid, dermatitis herpetiformis and others) groups, the former being characterized by pathogenic autoantibodies to desmosome components, and the latter by pathogenic antibodies to proteins of the basement membrane zone adhesion complex that link the epithelium/epidermis to the underlying mesenchyme/dermis (or genetic mutations of the same proteins). There are concomitant differences in clinical presentation, e.g. blistering lesions present in the subepidermal bullous diseases tend to be less easily ruptured than those observed in intraepidermal bullous diseases....

DISCUSSION In this report a case of SEBD associated with keratoconjunctivitis and severe facial scarring in a dog and its successful treatment with prednisone and MMF as steroid sparing agent is described. After slowly tapering prednisone, over 6 months, to a very low dose on alternate days, the skin lesions remained well controlled for another 10 months when the dog was lost to follow-up. During that time, prednisone therapy could probably have been discontinued if the keratoconjuctivitis, which was of much concern to the owner, had responded to its specific treatment or if clinical signs of iatrogenic hyperadrenocorticism had been present. Clinical differential diagnoses for SEBD in the dog include BP, MMP, EBA, linear IgA dermatosis and bullous drug eruptions6. Precise differentiation among these dermatoses requires demonstration of circulating autoantibodies and their targeted antigens in the basement membrane zone. Other vesiculobullous dermatosis such as pemphigus foliaceus, pemphigus ...
I too get this reaction with water as well as from shaving. Do you get it in the ocean? My skin really reacts to the salt water. I am usually itchy after a shower. I am trying a rice protein soap (no wheat or gluten)-- it is actually a shampoo but I have been using it as a soap too and I havent been itchy the last few showers. The other night I used gillette shaving gel and a new blade along with only the rice shampoo. All was ok. I did not use cream no matter how much my skin needs it. I think usually when I shave I get soap on my legs that must contain something in it that bothers me. I have yet to find a cream that will soothe it, most make it worse. I get itchy bumps and everywhere I scratch the lines are red and raised. Lovely. I have been told the causes are Dermatic Graphism, seborreah (spelling?), linear iga bullous dermatosis (blistering disease), foliculitis, hypothyroidism (this can make your skin dry and itchy I am told) etc. I do not take meds for any of these conditions as I am ...

Many patients begin treatment by taking a strong oral corticosteroid called prednisone. This medicine quiets the immune system, which may allow the skin to heal and prevent new blisters. Once the disease is under control, prednisone can be gradually stopped. To keep the disease under control after taking prednisone, you may need another medicine. Milder cases can be controlled with topical steroids.. Some patients cannot take a strong corticosteroid due to side effects. Antibiotics such as tetracycline or erythromycin may also control the disease. Recent studies have shown a combination of antiobiotics and the supplement, niacinamide, have benefited some patients.. Some bullous diseases respond better to powerful steroid-free immunosuppressant medications, such as methotrexate, azathioprine or mycophenolate mofetil. These can be used alone or in combination with each other to treat more severe cases.. Prednisone, dapsone, and the other medications may potentially cause serious side effects. You ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Is Local Production of Autoantibodies in Skin Lesions Relevant in Pemphigus?. AU - Nomura, Hisashi. AU - Amagai, Masayuki. PY - 2020/2. Y1 - 2020/2. N2 - Pemphigus is an autoimmune bullous disease characterized by IgG production against desmogleins. The major sites of autoantibody production are thought to be lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow. Previously, it has been suggested that autoreactive B cells might exist in the skin lesions in pemphigus and produce autoantibodies. In their report, Zhou et al. expanded their previous studies and reported that ectopic lymphoid-like structures were found in pemphigus skin lesions, wherein B-cell differentiation and lesional B-cell expansion might progress.

Autoimmune bullous disorders are a group of severe skin diseases characterized clinically by blisters and erosions of skin and/or mucous membranes. A hallmark of these disorders is the presence of IgG and occasionally IgA autoantibodies that target distinct adhesion structures of the epidermis, dermoepidermal basement membrane, and anchoring fibrils of the dermis. This Review focuses on the potential role of autoreactive T cells in the pathogenesis of these disorders. Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and bullous pemphigoid (BP) are the best-characterized bullous disorders with regard to pathogenesis and T cell involvement. Activation of autoreactive T cells in PV and BP is restricted by distinct HLA class II alleles that are prevalent in individuals with these disorders. Autoreactive T cells are not only present in patients but can also be detected in healthy individuals. Recently, a subset of autoreactive T cells with remarkable regulatory function was identified in healthy individuals and to a much ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - The basement membrane zone in asthma. AU - Evans, Michael J.. AU - Fanucchi, Michelle V.. AU - Plopper, Charles. PY - 2006/8/1. Y1 - 2006/8/1. N2 - Thickening of the basement membrane zone (BMZ) is a characteristic feature of airway remodeling. The BMZ appears as three component layers: the laminas lucida, densa, and reticularis. The lamina reticularis of the BMZ is thickened in asthma, allergic rhinitis, eosinophil bronchitis and lung transplants. Collagen types I, III and V form heterogeneous fibers that account for the thickness of the BMZ. Proteoglycans are structural component of the BMZ responsible for many of its functions, in particular, trafficking of growth factors and cytokines between epithelial and mesenchymal cells. An important function of the BMZ is storage and regulation of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2). FGF-2 has been shown to be involved with normal growth and thickening of the BMZ. Treatment with corticosteroids reduces the width of the BMZ in asthmatics. ...
