Article Synopsis
- Bullous pemphigoid is a common autoimmune blistering disease primarily affecting older adults, often linked to serious health conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
- It involves the body producing autoantibodies that attack proteins in the skin, leading to painful blisters and a high mortality rate within the first year.
- A case study is presented of a diabetic patient on hemodialysis with severe bullous pemphigoid who was successfully treated with double filtration plasmapheresis, which helped eliminate the need for systemic steroids.
