BACKGROUNDHerpes progenitalis is one of the most common infections in seropositive patients of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Studies suggested that the clinical prevalence of genital herpes is higher in HIV-seropositive patients when compared to HIVseronegative patients.
Psoriasis and bullous pemphigoid (BP) represent two clinically well-characterized, chronic, inflammatory skin conditions. (1) The concomitant occurrence of these two entities in a patient is rare (2) Here we report a 65-year-old female suffering from psoriasis vulgaris for 15 years on irregular medication who noticed eruption of blisters all over the body. Direct immunefluorescence and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid. In our case, bullous eruptions were successfully treated with tetracycline and dapsone, and psoriasis with methotrexate. We want to report the case as there are very few case reports available with psoriasis coexistence with bullous pemphigoid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
