Bollous Diseases Difinitions
•Blister: collection of clear fluid.•Bulla: Blister>5mm diameter.
•Vesicle: Blister<5mm diameter. •Crust Dried exudate on skin.
•BSDs are skin conditions characterised by blister formation.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
.The keratinocytes of the epidermis are tightly bound together by desmosomes.
.Beneath the epidermis lies the BMZ, which is a specialised area of cell- extracellular matrix adhesion.
.Specialised structures traversing this zone anchor the epidermis to the dermis.
.These structures(matrix) comprises polysaccharides and proteins(including collagens) linked to form
macromolecules(adhesion complex) .
![Page 15: BULLOUS DISEASES](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681649e550346895dd68411/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
If any of these specialised attachments are malformed, absent or damaged, seperation may occur leading to accumulation of fluid in the extracellular space and blister formation.
The BMZ is particularly vulnerable to damage or malfxn and is a common site of blister formation.

Pathomechanisms of Blistering
•Epidermal oedema(spongiosis causing separation of keratinocytes)
•Epidermal necrosis eg erythema multiforme •Damage to intercellular connections eg
pemphigus •Basal Cell degeneration eg Lupus
erythematosus •Damage to basal cell membrane
eg pemphigoid •Dermal damage eg dermatitis herpetiformis

characteristics Site of blister
Impetigo, miliaria, SSSS
Very thin roof breaks easily

Nikolsky sign vs. Asboe-Hansen
.Nikolsky sign:Shearing stress on normal skin(sliding pressure) can cause new erosion to form(+ve Nikolsky sign).
. Asboe-Hansen sign: direct pressure on intact bulla leading to bulla-spread phenomenon.

Pemphigus group of autoimmune blistering diseases of skin and mucous membranes that are
characterized by intraepidermal blisters due to acantholysis -separation of epidermal cells from each other with bound and circulating IgG directed against the cell surface of keratinocytes
![Page 24: BULLOUS DISEASES](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681649e550346895dd68411/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Classification of Pemphigus
Pemphigus vulgarisPemphigus vegetans
Pemphigus foliaceusPemphigus erythematosus Paraneoplastic pemphigus
Drug-induced
![Page 25: BULLOUS DISEASES](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681649e550346895dd68411/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Pemphigus Vulgaris
-middle age groups(40-60 yrs of life) -usually begins with painful mouth erosions.
-fragile flaccid blisters break and expand to form large erosions.
-nikolsky sign.-fatal in all cases if not treated.
![Page 26: BULLOUS DISEASES](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681649e550346895dd68411/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Pemphigus Vulgaris cont.-Biopsy shows that vesicles are intraepidermal
with rounded keratinocytes floating freely within the blister cavity(acantholysis)
-Direct IF of adjacent normal skin shows intercellular epidermal deposits of IgG and C3
-In indirect IF, Abs that binds to the desmogleins in the desmosomes of normal epidermis is found in pxs serum (correlates with disease activity)

B.P.-Skin biopsy shows a deeper blister(than in
pemphigus) owing to a subepidermal split through the BM
-On direct IF, perilesional skin shows linear band of IgG and C3 along BMZ
-Indirect IF shows IgG antibodies that reacts with the BMZ in most patients
