Nonbullous bullous pemphigoid.
Three patients had a rare form of bullous pemphigoid, clinically similar to the erythematous type of bullous pemphigoid without vesiculobullous lesions. All the patients displayed immunofluorescence features of bullous pemphigoid. This form of the disease presents a substantial diagnostic problem because it lacks the principal morphologic feature of bullous pemphigoid, namely the vesicles and bullae.
