For many years, The Journal of Investigative Dermatology (JID) has been a leader in our understanding of many aspects of the major autoimmune blistering skin diseases, pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid. The purpose of this review is to highlight and summarize those advances by discussing the respective articles, published in the JID from 2015 to 2019. Seminal articles from elsewhere in the literature that set the stage for those advances, or that are "classics" in the area, are also included to provide context and a more complete picture.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory condition that is polygenic and multisystemic, impacting approximately 2-3% of the global population. The onset of this disease is influenced by an intricate interplay of genetic and environmental factors, predisposing individuals to the psoriasis phenotype. The complex pathogenesis of psoriasis contains certain key aspects found in other autoinflammatory and autoimmune dermatological diseases.

Congenital syphilis remains a significant global health concern, with severe morbidity and mortality if undiagnosed and untreated. Although many infants appear asymptomatic at birth, subtle clinical signs-including bullous lesions (congenital bullous syphilis, also known as pemphigus syphiliticus)-may facilitate early detection. Recognizing this rare manifestation is crucial for timely intervention, reducing serious outcomes.

Pemphigus is a group of autoimmune bullous diseases mediated by autoantibodies most often of the immunoglobulin G class, subclasses immunoglobulin G1, and immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4), directed against desmosomal adhesion proteins of keratinocytes. This study aimed to evaluate IgG4 immunoreactivity on paraffin sections using immunohistochemistry in patients with pemphigus as a diagnostic test. Fifty formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens from patients with pemphigus were selected.

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a group of autoimmune bullous diseases characterized by life-threatening intradermal blisters. Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) is a kind of autoimmune disease with abnormal increase of thyroid peroxidase autoantibody (TPOAb), which is the thyroid specific antibody, leading to hypothyroidism. In recent years, the probability of HT in patients with PV is increasing, and the co-disease may be related to the effect of TPOAb autoantibody on oral keratinocytes.
