    Notes: The immunological features of drug-induced bullous pemphigoid appear to be similar to those of idiopathic bullous pemphigoid (BP), with presence of circulating and tissue-bound antibodies showing anti-basement membrane zone specificity. We describe a 28-year-old woman who developed a widespread blistering eruption with marked involvement of the mucous membranes shortly after commencing treatment with oral flucloxacillin. The eruption gradually cleared following drug withdrawal and treatment with oral corticosteroids. Indirect immunofluorescence showed circulating IgG anti-basement membrane zone (BMZ) antibody and C3 which bound to the dermal aspect of salt-split skin, and direct immunofluorescence (IMF) of perilesional skin showed a linear band of C3 at the BMZ. Western immunoblotting of the patient's serum showed positive reactivity with a 180 kDa antigen in epidermal extracts and no reactivity with dermal extracts. The dermal-binding pattern on indirect IMF with salt-split skin only occurs in a minority of patients with BP and has not been described previously in a drug-induced case.

    Notes: Two patients with clinical and laboratory evidence of co-existing lichen sclerosus and eicatricial pemphigoid are reported. Autoimmune bullous diseases affecting the vulva may mimic lichen sclerosus but in these two patients both diseases were present. These two diseases have not previously been reported simultaneously to date.

    Notes: The aim of this study was to investigate whether increased oxidative stress occurs in erosive lichen planus of the vulva. Skin biopsies from six patients with untreated, histologically confirmed erosive lichen planus of the vulva were examined immunohistochemically using antibodies against antioxidant enzymes. The protein-bound lipid peroxidation products malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenale (4-HNE) and the oxidative DNA damage marker 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) were investigated. Protein carbonyls as markers of protein oxidation were visualised using the dinitrophenylhydrazone (DNPH) method. Normal vulval tissues from 12 subjects served as controls. In vulval lichen planus tissue the enzymatic antioxidant defence was found to be significantly decreased in the epidermal layers. Furthermore, a significant increase of lipid peroxidation products and oxidative DNA damage was found within the epidermis. Protein oxidation occurred predominantly in the papillary dermis. This is the first study to demonstrate a decreased antioxidant defence and increased oxidative damage to lipids, DNA and proteins in lichen planus. These oxidative modifications point to pathophysiological alterations mainly within the basal cell layers of the epidermis and at the dermoepidermal junction. Further studies are warranted to investigate the potential role of oxidative stress in the development of autoimmunity in this disease.

    Notes: We describe a patient who developed a generalized blistering eruption due to lichen sclerosus and who was observed to have scalp involvement. Both are unusual manifestations of this disease which merit consideration.Lichen sclerosus is an uncommon disease that most frequently affects the external genitalia of perimenopausal women.1 The actiology is unknown. Approximately 20% of affected patients have extragenital lesions2,3 that present as small, ivory, shiny round macules or papules that later become atrophic; extragenital lesions are generally asymptomatic. Bullous and haemorrhagic forms may occur but these are generally localized and reports of extensive or generalized involvement are rare4–8, We describe an elderly woman with generalized bullous lichen sclerosus. As an incidental finding, she was observed to have lichen sclerosus affecting her scalp. This has rarely been described and it would appear that she is the third reported case of scalp involvement.

    Notes: We describe the clinical and immunopathological findings in a patient with a bullous eruption and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The bullous eruption preceded a dramatic flare of the SLE with a rise in anticardiolipin antibodies and life-threatening cardiac vasculitis. The clinical and histological findings were similar to those described in the classic bullous eruption of SLE but, unlike previous cases, IgG anti-basement-membrane-zone (anti-BMZ) antibodies were detected on the epidermal as well as the dermal side of the split in chemically separated human skin. We screened the sera of another eight patients with SLE and 10 patients with chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CCLE) without evidence of systemic involvement for the presence of anti-BMZ antibodies and demonstrated that these were present in a low titre in a further two SLE patients neither of whom had a history of blistering. Once more there was binding to both sides of the split. We conclude that although there may be low litres of antibodies to several BMZ antigens in patients with SLE, these are not always associated with blistering and their role in the initiation or perpetuation of cutaneous disease is uncertain.

    Notes: In a study of 32 patients with bullous pemphigoid (BP), 16 patients with cicatricial pemphigoid (CP) and 10 patients with linear IgA disease (LAD) no significant association was found between these diseases and HLA type of the A, B, C and DR loci. In order to determine whether HLA type modified the clinical expression of these subepidermal diseases, the results were analysed for any association with mucosal involvement, the presence of scarring or the occurrence of a circulating anti-basement membrane zone antibody. No significant associations were found.

    Notes: Fifty-two patients with discoid lupus erythematosus were examined with reference to systemic symptoms and the presence and titre of antinuclear antibody and anticardio-lipin antibody were determined. Serological abnormalities were found in 62%. Antinuclear antibody was detected using epithelial derived cell lines in 56% which is much higher than in previous series using mouse liver as the substrate. There was a definite association between positive antinuclear antibody and systemic symptoms. Anticardiolipin antibodies were found in low titre and were not associated with a thrombotic tendency, but were associated with antinuclear antibody.

    Notes: Chronic bullous disease of childhood (CBDC) is an acquired subepidermal bullous disease; oral involvement occurs with mouth ulcers and blisters in 57% of patients. The condition usually remits before puberty but persistence of the disease in adulthood is recognized. We report a case with severe oral scarring similar to that described in patients with adult linear IgA disease. To our knowledge this has not been previously described.
