Özet

Background and Design: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune skin disorder characterized by large, tense blisters of the skin. It occurs mainly in the elderly. The one year mortality associated with bullous pemphigoid ranges from 19% to 41%. We aim to analyse the etiologic factors, demographic features, clinical course and response to treatment in patients with BP.
