Autoimmune bullous skin disease (AIBD) is a group of blistering skin disorders caused by autoantibodies directed against various structural proteins of the skin. The main clinical features are blisters and bullae in the skin and mucous membranes, progressing to erosive lesions after rupture. Based on the pathogenesis, bullous skin diseases can be divided into autoimmune and non-autoimmune forms. Pathogenic autoantibodies can be detected in both the circulation and skin lesions in autoimmune bullous diseases.
