Bullous systemic lupus erythematosus (BSLE) is extremely rare but distinct disease, characterized by vesicobullous skin eruptions in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It can develop either before or after a diagnosis of SLE has been established. BSLE is characterized by a dermatitis herpetiformis-like histology and an autoimmunity to type VII collagen. It must be differentiated from other autoimmune vesicobullous diseases such as epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, dermatitis herpetiformis, linear IgA disease, and bullous pemphigoid. Its important to combine clinical, histological, and immunofluorescence findings to establish a diagnosis of BSLE. We report a case of BSLE to illustrate and emphasize the need for an integrative diagnostic approach.J MEDICINE JUL 2018; 19 (2) : 123-125

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.
