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.
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.
