Resumo: Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune disease characterized by subepidermal blister formation. Can be self-limiting but when necessary treatment includes the use of corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and biological agents. We present the case of a 37 year old patient with a severe and refractory presentation of bullous pemphigoid. After about a month of treatment with various first line drugs and with no response, we chose to start rituximab and clear improvement of the lesions was observed. The authors aim to highlight the usefulness and effectiveness of this drug in this disease.

Pode ser autolimitada mas quando necessário o tratamento passa pelo uso de corticoides, imunossupressores, e em última linha agentes biológicos. Apresenta-se o caso de um doente de 37 anos com penfigoide bolhoso com uma forma de apresentação grave e refratária. Após cerca de um mês de tratamento com vários fármacos de primeira linha, por ausência de resposta, optou-se por iniciar rituximab com franca melhoria das lesões. Os autores pretendem realçar a utilidade e eficácia deste fármaco nesta patologia.Ordem dos Médicos2017-03-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/mswordapplication/pdfhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7812oai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/7812Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 30 No. 3 (2017): March; 243-246Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 30 N.º 3 (2017): Março; 243-2461646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7812https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7812/4974https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7812/8502https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7812/8503https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7812/8504https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7812/8505https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7812/8506https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7812/8507https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7812/8689https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7812/8787Direitos de Autor (c) 2017 Acta Médica Portuguesainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, NunoCosta, AndreiaSalvador, FernandoSerradeiro, Elisa2022-12-20T11:05:20Zoai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/7812Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:19:30.192741Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
