Study Notes
Erythema Multiforme
- Clinical subtypes: Minor and Major
- Major: widespread skin lesions, plus 2 or more mucosal sites involved (e.g., oral, ocular, genital)
- Treatment:
- Corticosteroids (systemic or topical)
- Hydration
- Topical anesthetic agents
- Eliminate causative drugs
- Acyclovir to prevent recurrences in herpes-induced lesions
Autoimmune Vesiculobullous Diseases
- Diagnosis based on:
- Clinical features
- Histologic findings
- Immunologic findings (immunofluorescence, ELISA)
- Examples:
- Pemphigus
- Pemphigoid
- Erosive lichen planus
Ulcerative and Vesiculobullous Conditions
- Solitary or multifocal, small cluster
- Acute or chronic
- Examples:
- Pemphigus
- Pemphigoid
- Erosive lichen planus
Lichen Planus
- Treatment:
- Topical corticosteroids (1st line)
- Alternatives: topical calcineurin inhibitors, steroid-sparing agents, biologics
- Histopathology: superficial band-like lymphocytic infiltrate; basilar vacuolar change
Etiology of Ulcerative and Vesiculobullous Conditions
- Viral: HSV, VZV
- Immune-mediated: Pemphigus, Pemphigoid, Darier-White disease, Erythema multiforme
- Heritable: Darier disease, Epidermolysis bullosa
Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid
- Treatment:
- Ophthalmologist referral
- Topical corticosteroids
- Systemic corticosteroids plus immunosuppressive agents (cyclophosphamide)
- Alternatives: Dapsone, Tetracycline, Minocycline, Niacinamide
Erosive Lichen Planus
- More common than pemphigoid and pemphigus
- Doesn't really cause blistering; presents with ulcers, erythema
- Also known as "desquamative gingivitis" (DDx includes pemphigoid and pemphigus)
