Abstract :
Bullous pemphigoid, which rarely includes mucous membranes, is a chronic, autoimmune, subepidermal, and bullous skin disease. Bullous pemphigoid is characterized with the presence of specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies against BP230 (BP AG1) and BP180 (BP AG2), which are hemidesmosomal bullous pemphigoid antigens (1).
