Dermatology

The detection of "anti - skin antibodies" is used to detect chronic vesiculo-bullous diseases such as pemphigus, (mucosal) pemphigoid and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA).

The following antibodies are detected in dermatological autoimmune diseases:

Desease

Antibodies

Pemphigus

Epithelial Intracellular Antibodies (IC)

Active Bullous Pemphigoid

Basal Membrane Antibodies (BMZ)

Vesicular Pemphigoid

Basement Membrane Antibodies (BMZ)

Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita (EBA)

Basement Membrane Antibodies (BMZ)

Mucosa Pemphigoid

Basement Membrane Antibody (BMZ)

The serological distinction of the bullous pemphigoid from Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita (EBA) is performed by using a split-skin test.
