In this study, we examined the autoimmune T cell response in bullous pemphigoid patients.

Any chronic pruritis or persisting blister in old people should lead to the diagnosis procedures of a bullous pemphigoid.

This new information will aid in defining the key steps involved in the development of the autoimmune response in bullous pemphigoid.

In January 2013, Flaherty told the public he suffered from bullous pemphigoid, an incurable autoimmune skin disorder that causes painful lesions.

Flaherty revealed a year ago that he suffers from a rare skin disease called bullous pemphigoid, which creates painful blisters on the body.

But when a patient came in with a potentially disfiguring case of bullous pemphigoid- arareskin condition that causes large, watery blisters-shewas stumped.

He said in January that he has a rare condition called bullous pemphigoid and that the steroids he takes made him appear bloated and red-faced.

Bullous pemphigoid may present such phenomenon, even if the responsible antigen was the same.
