Résumé

Predisposing factors for bullous pemphigoid (BP), the most common autoimmune blistering disease, include neurological disorders, chronic use of certain drugs (spironolactone, loop diuretics, psycholeptics).(1) The coexistence of psoriasis with classical BP is occasionally observed, whereas half of the patient population with anti-laminin γ1 pemphigoid of Japanese origin have coexisting psoriasis.(2-3) We report for the first time a case of relapsing BP associated with psoriasis, in which both dermatoses completely disappeared after treatment with ustekinumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets the p40 subunit of IL-12/23.
