Autoimmune Bullous Dermatoses Clinical Trial
Official title:
Register of Autoimmune Bullous Dermatoses
Autoimmune bullous dermatoses are a group of diseases with chronic course. They are provoked
by the production of autoantibodies against the dermal-epidermal junction or against the
inter-keratinocyte junctions, resulting in the formation of intra-epidermal or sub-epidermal
blisters.
The diagnosis of autoimmune bullous dermatoses is based on clinical and immunopathological
findings, including skin direct immunofluorescence.
Systemic corticosteroid therapy is generally considered as the mainstay of treatment for many
years both for bullous pemphigoid and pemphigus which are the most frequent diseases.
The aim of the study is the creation of a register of patients suffering from autoimmune bullous dermatoses to quickly identify patients who can be included in clinical trials or retrospective epidemiological studies ;
