- Abstract
This article presents a medical case related to epidermolysis bullosa aquisita with features of bullous lupus erythematosus. A 30-year-old woman of Jamaican origin was referred for evaluation of a pruritic blistering disorder of two weeks' duration. It began as erosions in her mouth, with subsequent spread of pruritic vesicles to the trunk and limbs. She had been previously admitted for 1 week to a local hospital and treated with prednisone, 35 mg daily, tapered by 5 mg every second day. Within two days of her discharge, new lesions again appeared and her prednisone was increased to 35 mg daily. On examination, she was afebrile and her oral mucosa was clear. She had multiple 1-5 mm tense clear vesicles in groups on her neck, axillae, and under her breasts.
