    Abstract:
    We report forty-seven cases of bullous pemphigoid recorded in the dermatology department of Charles Nicolle hospital in Tunis during 16 years. In Tunisia, bullous pemphigoid is at the second rank of acquired autoimmune bullous skin diseases, after pemphigus. The profile of bullous pemphigoid in our series differ from that reported in the literature by the more young age (67.2 years) and the male predilection but don't present any clinical an epidemiological particularity. Three atypicals forms were observed: a vesicular form, a localized form and a infantile form. Systemic corticosteroids were choice treatment for our patients.
