Abstract
Anti-p200 pemphigoid is a rare autoimmune blistering dermatosis. The clinical course is heterogeneous. Typically, immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies are found on the floor of salt-split skin, which differentiates p200 pemphigoid from bullous pemphigoid. It is necessary to perform immunoblotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) to confirm the diagnosis. Small amounts of dapsone are often sufficient for disease control. The clinical and diagnostic characteristics of anti-p200 pemphigoid and the principles of treatment are presented exemplified by two case reports.Entities:
