Abstract

There is a large clinical, histological and immunological overlap between subepidermal autoimmune bullous diseases (SABD). The molecular knowledge of the dermoepidermal junction is basic to understanding this group of pathologies. Immunological studies are absolutely essential for the diagnosis of this heterogeneous group of diseases. In spite of everything, immunological studies have only increased the feeling of immense ignorance that people have when delving into SABD. In practice, clinically suspected cases of one type of SABD correspond immunologically to another. We are going to try to clarify some concepts and give the diagnostic keys.
