Abstract

It was reported that increased levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in blood were observed in patients with epidermolysis bullosa. We tested a group of total 82 patients with bullous dermatoses (bullous pemphigoid, pemphigus, epidermolysis bullosa, dermatitis herpetiformis), vesicular dermatoses (herpes simplex und zoster) as well as hereditary dermatoses (psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, dyskeratosis follicularis). The CEA levels were all within the range of healthy control persons (10.3-42.1 ng/ml). Our patients do not support the suggestion that certain dermatoses cause an increased production of CEA-like substances.
