Abstract :
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune disease with
chronic, recurrent bullous eruptions. BP has been reported to be
associated with drugs, physical stimuli, malignancies, and immune
abnormalities. Its association with renal transplant is rare and only
12 cases have been reported until now. We present a case of BP in
a 33-year-old man with history of bladder exstrophy from birth
and renal transplantation from 5 years ago. There was no finding
in favour of his disease was caused by graft rejection, drug usage,
or viral infection. Therefore, BP could be an accidental finding in
this patient with idiopathic aetiology.
