  • Title: Vesiculobullous systemic lupus erythematosus. A report of four cases.
    Author: Camisa C.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 1988 Jan; 18(1 Pt 1):93-100. PubMed ID: 3279084.
    Abstract:
    A vesiculobullous eruption is now recognized as a specific but rare cutaneous complication of systemic lupus erythematosus. Four additional cases are reported in whom the five previously proposed criteria were met. Increased activity of systemic lupus erythematosus affecting other organ systems was documented in three of four cases. All four patients demonstrated a positive lupus band, and three of four showed granular deposits of IgA along the basement membrane zone (BMZ). Evidence of glomerulonephritis was obtained in three of four cases, which resulted in death in one. The higher than expected incidence of IgA deposits in skin and renal disease in patients with vesiculobullous eruption of systemic lupus erythematosus is again confirmed. The eruption cleared in all four cases with either dapsone, 50 mg daily, or high doses of corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents.
