We report a 71‐year‐old woman with antiepiligrin cicatricial pemphigoid associated with
nephrotic syndrome. She presented with a six‐month history of pruritic blisters over her trunk …

Anti-epiligrin cicatricial pemphigoid is an autoimmune subepithelial blistering disorder of
mucous membranes and skin. By immunoblot analyses, sera of most patients with anti …

Patients with a recently identified subepithelial blistering disease have IgG anti-laminin 5
