[Bullous dermatoses with special reference to the symptomatology of the eyelids in pemphigus vulgaris].

Among the bullous dermatoses the pemphigus group, the pemphigoids have to be distinguished from the hereditary epidermolyses. Immune-histological examinations are of paramount importance for the differential diagnosis between pemphigus vulgaris and cicatricial pemphigoid. This paper describes symmetrical erosions of the edges of the eyelids and adjacent skin which have their origin in transient vesicle formations, and classifies them as a partial symptom of the overall pemphigus vulgaris complex. High doses of cortison can re-epithelialize these troublesome and cosmetically unpleasant erosions.
