Bullous skin lesions are uncommon in children. While it is well known that infections are associated with papular skin manifestations, bullous skin lesions are not commonly reported. is a very common bacterial pathogen causing respiratory tract infection in children and adults. We report 2 children with serology-confirmed infection who were hospitalized for blistering skin lesions. Both of our patients responded well to corticosteroids and one of them required intravenous immunoglobulin. The aim of this case report is to raise awareness that infection can present with bullous skin lesions, and to briefly review the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of the skin manifestation of infection.

Introduction: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) and prurigo nodularis (PN) are chronic pruritic skin diseases that severely impact patients' quality of life. Despite the widespread attention these two diseases have garnered within the dermatological field, the specific pathogenesis, particularly the molecular mechanisms underlying the pruritus, remains largely unclear. Limited clinical sequencing studies focusing on BP and PN have hindered the identification of pathological mechanisms and the exploration of effective treatment strategies.

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most prevalent autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes. This disease typically affects the elderly and manifests with pruritus and localized or, most commonly, generalized bullous lesions. Numerous studies have established the association between BP and oral antidiabetic agents, particularly dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors, diuretics, and certain antibiotics, notably levofloxacin and cephalexin.

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a rare autoimmune blistering disease characterised by autoantibodies against basal skin membrane antigens. Although the condition's aetiology remains unclear, recent cases have raised suspicions of an association with immunisation. In this study, we present a case of BP onset in a four-month-old infant following routine vaccination.

Article Synopsis
- - Macrophages are key immune cells that play diverse roles in the body, especially in the skin, which is the largest immune organ and is crucial for studying various skin-related conditions.
- - This review focuses on recent findings about macrophages in inflammatory skin diseases like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, as well as skin tumors such as melanoma and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
- - The goal is to enhance understanding of how macrophages contribute to these diseases and explore potential new treatments targeting them.
