Presence of Cutaneous Complement Deposition Distinguishes between Immunological and Histological Features of Bullous Pemphigoid—Insights from a Retrospective Cohort Study

Presence of Cutaneous Complement Deposition Distinguishes between Immunological and Histological Features of Bullous Pemphigoid—Insights from a Retrospective Cohort Study

The practical implications of complement deposition in direct immunofluorescence (DIF) microscopy and its influence on the disease phenotype are poorly understood. We aimed to investigate whether the presence of complement deposition in DIF microscopy gives rise to differences in the morphological,...
