  • Title: Penicillamine-induced bullous pemphigoid with pemphigus-like antibodies.
    Author: Rasmussen HB, Jepsen LV, Brandrup F.
    Journal: J Cutan Pathol; 1989 Jun; 16(3):154-7. PubMed ID: 2671069.
    Abstract:
    A rheumatoid arthritis case is described who developed bullous skin eruption with mucosal involvement after 3 years of treatment with penicillamine. Histologically, changes compatible with bullous pemphigoid were found. Direct immunofluorescence showed linear, as well as intercellular, deposits of IgG. By indirect immunofluorescence IgG antibodies reacting with the basal membrane zone, as well as the intercellular substance, were detected in the serum. We believe that the patient had bullous pemphigoid with pemphigus-like antibodies induced by penicillamine.
