title: Autoimmune blistering diseases: incidence and treatment in Croatia.
abstract: Dermatovenereology in Croatia has a long tradition, with the first Department of Dermatovenereology having opened in Zagreb in 1894. The diagnosis of autoimmune bullous disease is based on clinical, histopathologic, and immunopathologic findings. Future goals are to participate in multicenter studies because this is the only possibility for further investigation for these rare diseases.
