Autoimmune bullous diseases (AIBDs) are characterized by the formation of vesicles, bullous lesions, and mucosal erosions. The autoantibodies target the cellular anchoring structures from the surface of epidermal keratinocyte named desmosomes, leading to a loss of cellular cohesion named acantholysis. AIBDs are classified into intraepidermal or subepidermal types based on clinical features, histological characteristics, and immunofluorescence patterns.

Background: Prospective research is lacking on the utility of plucked hair outer root sheath direct immunofluorescence (ORS DIF) in the prediction of relapse in pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and the correlation of ORS DIF positivity with serum desmoglein antibody titers.
Methods: We performed a prospective cohort study enrolling 80 PV patients in complete clinical remission at a tertiary care center in North India. Study participants underwent ORS DIF at baseline, which was repeated every 3 months.

Background: Autoimmune bullous disorders develop due to autoantibodies targeting intercellular adhesion proteins of hemidesmosomes and desmosomes and may be triggered by viral infections and vaccines. Recent reports suggest that the coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination may trigger flares or exacerbations of preexisting autoimmune diseases, including new onset autoimmune bullous disorders. There are less data on whether vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 may also exacerbate preexisting autoimmune bullous disorders.
