<p>Bullous SLE is an uncommon complication of SLE with autoantibodies to type VII collagen of dermo-epidermal junction. We report a 31-year-old female who presented with vesiculobullous lesions in the photo exposed areas along with vasculitic lesions over palms and soles and ulcerations in the larynx. She also had history of photosensitivity and hair loss. Investigations showed significant anaemia and high titres of antibodies (ANA, anti-ds-DNA, anti Sm) confirming SLE. Histopathology showing sub epidermal blister with neutrophils and immunofluorescence favoured diagnosis of bullous SLE. The patient responded well to high dose parenteral steroids and dapsone. In view of high probability of renal involvement, patient was referred to nephrologist and is under regular follow up.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p>
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.
