Lichen planus pemphigoid (LPP) is a rare autoimmune bullous dermatosis, although it is frequently idiopathic, the induced form is rare and there are few inducing drugs. We report a case of LPP induced by a gliclazide. A 68-year-old female patient with type 2 diabetes on gliclazide for three months presented with an eight-week history of generalized erythematous-papular eruption. Then she developed blisters on her forearms with oral mucosa involvement. A diagnosis of gliclazide-induced LPP was made based on a skin biopsy and imputability. The patient was treated with systemic corticosteroid with an improvement. LPP is a rare entity; its diagnosis is a challenge as it represents an overlap between lichen planus and 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.
