Background: Brunsting-Perry pemphigoid is a rare subepidermal blistering disease characterized by scarring blisters on the head and neck. However, the identity of the responsible autoantigens is still unresolved.Methods: We reported a patient with epidermolysis bullosa acquisita who had clinical features typical of Brunsting-Perry pemphigoid and investigated the involved type VII collagen epitopes. The patient was a 65-year-old Japanese woman with a 20-month history of recurrent subepidermal bullae on her head, face, and neck.Results: Immunoblot studies revealed that the serum of this patient reacted with type VII collagen, specifically with the noncollagenous domain 1 and the triple-helical domain. The patient responded completely to colchicine monotherapy.Limitations: This study was performed on only one case.Conclusion: This Study suggests that Brunsting-Perry pemphigoid may be a clinical variant of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita.
