title: Coexistent bullous pemphigoid and systemic lupus erythematosus.
abstract: A case of coexistent bullous pemphigoid and systemic lupus erythematosus is reported. Evidence for an immunologic pathogenesis is reviewed for both disorders. It is suggested that the coexistence of bullous pemphigoid and systemic lupus erythematosus may represent a similar pathomechanism.
