The indirect immunofluorescence test has acquired great importance in the diagnosis of auto-immune skin diseases. Since it is sufficient only to send a sample of whole blood or blood serum to carry out the test, it is also of practical interest to the general practitioner. The test should be called upon if any of the following auto-immune skin diseases are suspected: pemphigus vulgaris (including p. vegetans, p. foliaceus, p. erythematosus), bullous pemphigoid (including benign mucosal pemphigoid) lupus erythematodes (systemic) and diffuse scleroderma.
间接免疫荧光试验在自身免疫性皮肤病的诊断中具有重要意义。由于仅需送检全血或血清样本即可进行该试验，所以它对全科医生也具有实际意义。如果怀疑患有以下任何一种自身免疫性皮肤病，就应进行该试验：寻常型天疱疮（包括增殖型天疱疮、落叶型天疱疮、红斑型天疱疮）、大疱性类天疱疮（包括良性黏膜类天疱疮）、系统性红斑狼疮和弥漫性硬皮病。
