- Abstract
This article presents immunofluorescent and serological findings in 110 patients with suspected bullous skin disorders. One hundred and ten patients with suspected bullous skin disease were investigated immunologically. Clinically they consisted of 63 with overt bullae and 47 without. The latter were mostly characterized by the presence of "itchy papules" and are designated as such. The 47 patients in the itchy popular category were usually biopsied to seek diagnositic information in the presence of clinical uncertainty. Most biopsies were taken from nonlesional skin and examined by immunofluorescence for the presence of IgG, IgA, IgM, C3, CIq and fibrinogen.
