Vildagliptin is a DPP-4 (iDPP-4) inhibitor drug. Among its drug reactions, the dermatological manifestation of bullous pemphigoid (BP), a chronic, rare, autoimmune and subepidermal disease, has been described. We present the case of a patient with antecedent diabetes type 2, who was under treatment with metformin, empaglifozin and vildagliptin; he presented vesicular papular lesions with erythematous bases, visualized on arms, legs and trunk. Hypoglycemic treatment was suspended, immunosuppressive therapy was started and after immunosuppressive management, dermatological lesions improved. This case report is a scientific documentation base on BP in patients with vildagliptin.

The case of a 73-year-old female patient obtained and resident of Florencia, Caquetá (Colombia), with a history of hypertension who is admitted to a highly complex hospital due to a 3-month clinical picture of constant evolution in pain is presented. Thoracic oppressive type pain in the anterior region of the left thorax, non-irradiated, of intensity 8/10. The echocardiogram shows calcified aortic valve disease with severe aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, left ventricular hypertrophy, and mild grade mitral regurgitation. Within the pre-surgical studies, she presented VDRL with 1:4 dilutions and the diagnosis was confirmed with the result of the treponemal test and other infectious diseases were ruled out. Valvular replacement was performed with a bioprosthesis plus a supra-coronary valvular tube. In the biopsy, chronic scar valvulitis with extensive calcifications was confirmed. After the surgical intervention, discharge was performed due to adequate clinical evolution.
