This chapter focuses on immunobullous diseases. The immunobullous disorders are a group of diseases in which pathogenic autoantibodies bind to target antigens either in desmosomes (intra-epidermal intracellular adhesion junctions) or in part of the basement membrane zone, resulting in loss of adhesion, and blister formation. This chapter will focus on pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigus foliaceus, bullous pemphigoid, linear IgA disease, chronic bullous disease of childhood, and dermatitis herpetiformis; it will also mention mucous membrane pemphigoid, pemphigoid gestationis, and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita.
