Bullous pemphigoid and Hashimoto's thyroiditis

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology

Abstract

Both bullous pemphigoid (BP) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) are suspected of being autoimmune disorders. Each disorder has been reported with other diseases associated with autoimmune phenomena. Thyroid disorders have been reported with BP, but never well documented HT with thyroid antibodies. We report a patient with hypothyroidism due to HT who subsequently developed BP. The importance of this association is discussed, particularly as it relates to autoimmunity.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Autoimmune Thyroiditis

Autoimmune thyroiditis is an inflammatory disease of thyroid gland due to autoimmune responses leading to lymphocytic infiltration of the gland. It is characterized by the presence of circulating thyroid antigen-specific T-cells and thyroid autoantibodies. Discover the latest research on autoimmune thyroiditis here.
