🗑
direct immunofluorescence   detects tissue-bound antibodies  
🗑
indirect immunofluorescence   detects circulating antibodies  
🗑
pemphigus vulgaris   blisters of skin and oral mucosa due to autoantibodies against {desmoglein 3} and {desmoglein 1}, components of {desmosomes} that bind epithelial cells to each other -oral lesions usually precede skin lesions, most often in posterior palate  
🗑
positive Nikolsky sign   creation of new vesicles in pemphigus vulgaris by applying lateral pressure on normal skin -{intraepithelial} separation occurs above basal layer  
🗑

🗑
Rituximab   monoclonal antibody that targets B-cells, first line therapy for pemphigus vulgaris  
🗑
paraneoplastic pemphigus   vere severe form of pemphigus seen in patients with malignancies (especially leukemias and lymphomas) that develops more quickly  
🗑
mucous membrane pemphigoid   chronic blistering disease due to autoantibodies against basement membrane; more common than pemphigus -denuded mucosa and ulceration can be diffuse or limited -ocular involvement is most serious complication, can lead to blindness  
🗑
desquamative gingivitis   gingival involvement of MMP; seen also in lichen plans, pemphigus and other ulcerative diseases  
🗑
subepithelial   type of separation of epithelium from CT that occurs at the level of the basement membrane  
🗑
anti-laminin 332 mucous membrane pemphigoid   form of pemphigoid associated with widespread involvement and risk of malignancy  
🗑
bullous pemphigoid   most common autoimmune blistering condition; autoantibodies attack hemidesmosomes; bullae of skin with blisters containing eosinophils  
🗑
erythema multiforme   acute, immunologic disease that occurs after recent infection; vesiculobullous process of skin that lasts 2-6 weeks and goes away  
🗑
erythema multiforme minor   skin lesions with or without oral ulcers; characteristic target lesions  
🗑
erythema multiforme major   widespread skin lesions with 2 or more oral mucosal sites  
🗑
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome   oral, ocular, and genital lesions triggered by a drug reaction; seen mostly in young adults  
🗑
toxic epidermal necrosis (TEN)   oral, ocular, and genital lesions triggered by a drug reaction; seen in older people, more severe than SJS  
🗑
erythema migrans   benign inflammatory condition usually on dorsal tongue, taking off the fungiform papillae  
🗑
Munro abscesses   collections of neutrophils concentrated in upper spinous layer of epithelium in erythema migrans  
🗑
lichen planus   dermatologic disease of unknown etiology on oral mucosa; lace-like white lines {Wickham's striae} -lesions seen bilaterally and change patterns over time  
🗑
lichenoid drug reaction   medication-induced lesions that look like lichen planus  
🗑
lichenoid foreign body gingivitis   lesions that look like lichen planus but isolated to gingiva and non-migratory; often due to dental materials  
🗑
reticular lichen planus   asymptomatic, involving posterior buccal mucosa bilaterally with interlacing white striae; most common type of LP  
🗑
erosive lichen planus   presents with tissue-damage and pain, ulcers with white periphery and can be confined to gingiva {desquamative gingivitis}  
🗑
aqueous tacrolimus rinse   rinse that can manage erosive LP by inhibiting T-cell activation  
🗑
chronic ulcerative stomatitis   immune-mediated mucosal disease that mimics erosive lichen planus, antibodies against delta-Np63alpha -presents with desquamative gingivitis, ulcers on tongue and buccal mucosa; tongue can look like {cracked river bed} appearance
