[Acquired epidermolysis bullosa (acquired dermolytic bullous dermatoses) (study of 2 patients)]. 1985

J E Costa Martins, and C Vasconcellos, and S L Dinato, and N Belliboni, and M N Sotto

The authors studied two patients with bullous lesions with onset at adult age. There were no relatives with bullous disease. After minor traumas, mainly in hands, feet, elbows and knees, one could see the onset of the blisters, which vanished leaving atrophic scars. Nails and mucosae were involved in both patients. The female patient had cyst of milia. One of the patients had lymph node tuberculosis as associated disease. Through exhaustive clinical examination and laboratory investigation, the authors excluded other types of bullous diseases. Histopathology of the lesions, electron microscopy, direct and indirect immunofluorescence, supported the diagnosis of Acquired Dermolytic Bullous Dermatosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D004817 Epidermis The external, nonvascular layer of the skin. It is made up, from within outward, of five layers of EPITHELIUM: (1) basal layer (stratum basale epidermidis); (2) spinous layer (stratum spinosum epidermidis); (3) granular layer (stratum granulosum epidermidis); (4) clear layer (stratum lucidum epidermidis); and (5) horny layer (stratum corneum epidermidis).
D004820 Epidermolysis Bullosa Group of genetically determined disorders characterized by the blistering of skin and mucosae. There are four major forms: acquired, simple, junctional, and dystrophic. Each of the latter three has several varieties. Acantholysis Bullosa
D005260 Female Females
D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
