Study Notes
- There are two types of Blisters: flaccid and tense
Flaccid Blisters
- Flaccid blisters can be genetic or acquired
Genetic Flaccid Blisters
- Hailey-Hailey disease affects adults, appears in flexural areas, includes fissures, and has a negative DIF test
- Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) Simplex: is trauma induced and displays a negative DIF test
Acquired Flaccid Blisters
- Pemphigus Vulgaris relates to mucosal areas and has a positive DIF test, and is widespread
- Toxic Epidermal Necolysis (TEN) affects mucosal areas, linked to drug history, and has a negative DIF test that can appear targetoid
- Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome (SSSS) is non-mucosal, presents with scales in children, and is Seborrheic with a negative DIF test
- Pemphigus Foliaceus is non-mucosal, presents with scales in adults, and is seborrheic with a positive DIF test
Tense Blisters
- Tense blisters can be genetic or acquired
Genetic Tense Blisters
- EB Junctionalis/EB Dystrophicans are trauma induced and have a negative DIF test
Acquired Tense Blisters
- Bullous Pemphigoid causes itching, affects the elderly, and has a positive DIF test
- Dermatitis Herpetiformis causes itching with scratch marks, is related to Celiac disease, and has a positive DIF test
- Linear IgA Dermatosis presents as a "string of pearls," and has a positive DIF test
- Steven-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) involves less than 10% surface area
