MADAM, Autoantibodies in pemphigus preferentially target desmoglein 1 (Dsg1) and Dsg3, and rarely desmocollins 1–3 (Dsc1–3). 1 Pemphigus herpetiformis (PH) is a subtype of pemphigus and is characterized by pruritic annular erythemas with vesicles in the periphery, rarity of mucosal involvement and histopathologically determined eosinophilic spongiosis. Recently, it was suggested that immunoglobulin G (IgG) anti-Dsc3 autoantibodies caused skin lesion in a case of pemphigus vulgaris (PV). 2 In this study, we report the first case of concurrent bullous pemphigoid (BP) and PH with IgG antibodies to both Dsgs and Dscs.An 83-year-old woman presented with a 3-month history of painful oral erosions and ulcers. The patient’s medical history was unremarkable. Physical examination revealed multiple blisters, erosions and ulcers on the tongue, soft palate and buccal mucosa (Fig. 1a). Ten days later, pruritic urticarial annular erythemas developed on the abdomen and lower extremities, some of which showed small vesicles at the periphery (Fig. 1b). Laboratory examination revealed slight hypereosinophilia. A biopsy specimen from the right lower extremity revealed eosinophilic spongiosis and many intraepidermal vesicles without apparent acantholysis in the epidermis (Fig. 1c), and also a few subepidermal vesicles with many eosinophilic infiltrates (Fig. 1d). Direct immunofluorescence showed IgG deposition on the cell surfaces of keratinocytes in the whole epidermis (Fig. 2a), and C3 deposition to the epidermal basement membrane zone
