          Abstract

          En muchas enfermedades dermatológicas se presentan ampollas, pero no todas son de etiología autoinmune. Para el estudio de las enfermedades ampollosas se deben tener en cuenta las manifestaciones clínicas, la historia de cómo y cuándo empezaron las ampollas, las características epidemiológicas e histológicas (por ejemplo, el nivel de la piel en el que se producen las ampollas) y la presencia o no de infiltrados inflamatorios. Para corroborar la etiología autoinmune de la enfermedad ampollosa es importante contar con los resultados de pruebas como la inmunofluorescencia directa e indirecta, el inmunoblotting, el ensayo inmunoenzimático (ELISA), la inmunoprecipitación y la microscopía electrónica. La información sobre los títulos séricos de autoanticuerpos ayuda a orientar mejor el tratamiento inmunosupresor.

          Translated abstract

          Blisters may appear in many dermatological diseases, but they are not necessarily of autoimmune etiology. For the study of blistering diseases, it is necessary to take into account the clinical aspects, the history of when and how blisters appeared, the epidemiological and histological information (for instance, the skin level at which blisters are located), and whether inflammatory infiltrates are present. In order to corroborate the autoimmune etiology of blisters, it is important to have the results of confirmatory tests such as direct and indirect immunofluorescence, immune blotting, enzyme-linked immune-assay (ELISA), immune precipitation, and electronic microscopy. Information on autoantibodies serum titers may help to conduct a more precise immunosuppressive therapy.

            Diagnosis and clinical features of pemphigus foliaceus.

            Pemphigus foliaceus is an acquired autoimmune blistering disease in which the body's immune system produces IgG autoantibodies that target the intercellular adhesion glycoprotein desmoglein-1, which is principally expressed in the granular layer of the epidermis, resulting in the loss of intercellular connections between keratinocytes (acantholysis) and the formation of subcorneal blisters within the epidermis. This article summarizes the epidemiology, clinical features, techniques for diagnosis, and drugs associated with treatment of this rare disease.

              Current management strategies in paraneoplastic pemphigus (paraneoplastic autoimmune multiorgan syndrome).

              Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) or paraneoplastic autoimmune multiorgan syndrome (PAMS) is a life-threatening autoimmune blistering disease commonly associated with lymphoproliferative neoplasms. This article focuses on current management strategies in PNP/PAMS, and reported instances of their treatment successes and failures. Due to the rarity of the condition and the high rates of treatment failure, no randomized control trials exist to guide the evidence-based treatment of this condition; all evidence to date on the efficacy of therapeutic modalities has been gained from individual case reports, small case series, and expert recommendations.
