Bullous Pemphigoid in a Renal Transplant Recipient
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF CLINICAL DERMATOLOGY(2012)
摘要
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune disease with chronic, recurrent bullous eruptions. BP has been reported to be associated with drugs, physical stimuli, malignancies, and immune abnormalities. Its association with renal transplant is rare and only four cases have been reported. We present a case of BP in a 52-year-old man with chronic hepatitis B and C infection who underwent a cadaveric renal transplant 13 years earlier. His graft was still functioning well when BP appeared. The occurrence of BP in our patient might be a result of drugs (furosemide or tacrolimus), viruses, or renal allograft. As the patient was receiving regular T-cell immunosuppressant therapy, his BP lesions were recalcitrant to corticosteroid treatment. We discuss the pathogenesis and treatment of such patients.
