Popis: Autoimmune blistering diseases of the pemphigus group Blisters may appear in many dermatological diseases, but they are not necessarily of autoimmune etiology. For the study of blistering diseases, it is necessary to take into account the clinical aspects, the history of when and how blisters appeared, the epidemiological and histological information (for instance, the skin level at which blisters are located), and whether inflammatory infiltrates are present. In order to corroborate the autoimmune etiology of blisters, it is important to have the results of confirmatory tests such as direct and indirect immunofluorescence, immune blotting, enzyme-linked immune-assay (ELISA), immune precipitation, and electronic microscopy. Information on autoantibodies serum titers may help to conduct a more precise immunosuppressive therapy.
