Abstract |
Patients with psoriasis are frequently complicated with autoimmune bullous diseases, especially, pemphigoid diseases. It has been known that one-third cases of anti-laminin gamma1 pemphigoid, formerly anti-p200 pemphigoid, are associated with psoriasis whereas bullous pemphigoid is the most frequently associated bullous disease in psoriasis cases regardless of the lack of detectable levels of the accompanying anti-laminin gamma1 autoantibodies. Despite several suggestions, however, the definitive reason of the striking association of psoriasis and these autoimmune bullous diseases remains elusive. In this review, we look over the epidemiological evidence of the association of psoriasis and autoimmune bullous diseases and the information of genetic susceptibilities of each disease, and discuss the possible mechanisms of their complication with reference to the recent understandings of each pathogenesis. |
