British Journal of Dermatology, 07/01/09
Marazza G et al. - This is the first comprehensive prospective study analysing the incidence of autoimmune bullous diseases in an entire country. This patient cohort is large enough to establish BP as the most frequent autoimmune bullous disease. Its incidence rate appears higher compared with other previous studies, most likely because of the demographic characteristics of the Swiss population. Nevertheless, based on its potentially misleading presentations, it is possible that the real incidence rate of BP is still underestimated. Based on its significant incidence in the elderly population, BP should deserve more public health concern.
