Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering dermatosis associated with a number of neurological conditions, including idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD). Only 1 case of BP in a patient with multiple system atrophy (MSA) has been reported.
We report 3 cases of men with probable MSA who developed bullous pemphigoid at a latency of 4-6 years from MSA symptom onset.
Skin α-synuclein deposition in neurodegenerative conditions such as IPD and MSA may be a potential substrate for the exposure of BP-related antigens. Alternatively, central neurodegeneration may expose antigens as a substrate for cross-reactivity and BP pathogenesis. Our report suggests an association between BP and MSA, in addition to the previously documented association with IPD.
大疱性类天疱疮(BP)是一种自身免疫性水疱性皮肤病,与多种神经系统疾病相关,包括特发性帕金森病(IPD)。仅报告过1例多系统萎缩(MSA)患者发生BP的病例。
我们报告3例可能患有MSA的男性患者,他们在MSA症状出现后4 - 6年出现了大疱性类天疱疮。
在IPD和MSA等神经退行性疾病中,皮肤α-突触核蛋白沉积可能是暴露BP相关抗原的潜在底物。或者,中枢神经退行性变可能暴露抗原作为交叉反应和BP发病机制的底物。我们的报告表明,除了先前记录的与IPD的关联外,BP与MSA之间也存在关联。
