Orogenital and conjunctival involvement in hereditary and autoimmune blistering diseases

Chronic involvement of orogenital and conjunctival mucosa in the course of either genetically based (epidermolysis bullosa hereditaria) or auto-immunologically mediated (as for example pemphigus vulgaris, mucous membrane pemphigoid or epidermolysis bullosa acquisita) blistering diseases can cause si...

Description
Summary:Chronic involvement of orogenital and conjunctival mucosa in the course of either genetically based (epidermolysis bullosa hereditaria) or auto-immunologically mediated (as for example pemphigus vulgaris, mucous membrane pemphigoid or epidermolysis bullosa acquisita) blistering diseases can cause significant morbidity. To provide accurate care, recognition of clinical, pathogenic and diagnostic features as well as awareness of recent advances in the development of new therapeutic modalities are mandatory and thus will be discussed in this review.
