Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) and bullous pemphigoid (BP) are distinct autoimmune bullous skin diseases mediated by autoantibodies targeting adhesion molecules in desmosomes and hemidesmosomes structural proteins in the epidermal-basement membrane zone, respectively. The coexistence of PF and BP is rare. We present the case of a 72-year-old male with clinical and histological features of both PF and BP. Treatment with immunoglobulin (10 g/day for 3 days), intravenous dexamethasone sodium phosphate (5 mg/day for 10 days), oral triamcinolone (30 mg/day for 10 days), and minocycline hydrochloride (20 mg/day for 10 days) resulted in significant improvement. This rare case highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and effective treatment strategies for the coexistence of PF and BP.
落叶型天疱疮(PF)和大疱性类天疱疮(BP)是两种不同的自身免疫性大疱性皮肤病,分别由针对桥粒黏附分子和表皮-基底膜区半桥粒结构蛋白的自身抗体介导。PF和BP共存的情况很少见。我们报告了一例72岁男性患者,其具有PF和BP的临床及组织学特征。采用免疫球蛋白(10g/天,共3天)、静脉注射地塞米松磷酸钠(5mg/天,共10天)、口服曲安奈德(30mg/天,共10天)和盐酸米诺环素(20mg/天,共10天)进行治疗后,病情显著改善。这一罕见病例凸显了准确诊断以及针对PF和BP共存情况的有效治疗策略的重要性。
