2. Bullous pemphigoid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullous_pemphigoid

   The bullae are formed by an immune reaction, initiated by the formation of IgG [citation needed] autoantibodies targeting dystonin, also called bullous pemphigoid antigen 1, [6] and/or type XVII collagen, also called bullous pemphigoid antigen 2, [7] which is a component of hemidesmosomes. A different form of dystonin is associated with ...

4. Paraneoplastic pemphigus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraneoplastic_pemphigus

   The number of target antigens varies on a case by case basis. The variability is likely what accounts for the different presentations of PNP. Through immunoprecipitation, target antigens have been found to include desmoglein-3, desmoglein-1, envoplakin, periplakin, desmoplakin 1, desmoplakin 2, and bullous pemphigoid antigen I. [citation needed]

6. Linear IgA bullous dermatosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_IgA_bullous_dermatosis

   Linear IgA bullous dermatosis is a rare immune-mediated blistering skin disease frequently associated with medication exposure, especially vancomycin, with men and women being equally affected. [ 2 ] : 135 It was first described by Tadeusz Chorzelski in 1979 and may be divided into two types: [ 3 ] : 587

7. Pemphigoid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pemphigoid

   Pemphigoid is a group of rare autoimmune blistering diseases of the skin and mucous membranes.As its name indicates, pemphigoid is similar in general appearance to pemphigus, [1] however unlike pemphigus, pemphigoid does not feature acantholysis, a loss of connections between skin cells.

8. Mucous membrane pemphigoid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucous_membrane_pemphigoid

   Mucous membrane pemphigoid is a rare chronic autoimmune subepithelial blistering disease characterized by erosive lesions of the mucous membranes and skin. [3] It is one of the pemphigoid diseases that can result in scarring.

9. Vesiculobullous disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesiculobullous_disease

   A vesiculobullous disease is a type of mucocutaneous disease characterized by vesicles and bullae (i.e. blisters).Both vesicles and bullae are fluid-filled lesions, and they are distinguished by size (vesicles being less than 5–10 mm and bulla being larger than 5–10 mm, depending upon which definition is used).
