E46: The Role Of Autoantibodies In Itchy And Blistering Diseases

Could better understanding of the role of autoantibodies hold the key to personalised treatments in itchy and blistering diseases?

 

This week we bring together experts Prof. Kridin and Dr. Meijer to discuss their recent JEADV publications concerning the role of autoantibodies in itchy and blistering diseases. Prof. Kridin talks about the pathophysiology and therapeutic approaches to treat patients with bullous pemphigoid and comorbid psoriasis, followed by Dr. Meijer’s explanation regarding the role of IgE autoantibodies in serum and skin of non-bullous and bullous pemphigoid patients.
