Dyshidrosiform Bullous Pemphigoid With Dermatophyte Infection: An Association or Coincidence? Diagnostic Challenge of a Case and Review of the Literature
This Case Shows the Rarity of Dyshidrosiform Bullous Pemphigoid (DBP) as it is the first case to be reported from Nepal. Also, this is the first case of a dermatophyte infection in a patient with DBP. This case underscores the need for more extensive studies on DBP to better understand its incidence, risk factors, pathophysiology, systemic associations, diagnostic workup, and treatment options.
