Abstract
A 67-year-old man presented with a maculopapular exanthem which started over the major joints. Within a few days, it spread to the entire skin surface and was accompanied by blisters as well as changes of the oral mucosa. The histological examination revealed subepidermal blistering. Targeted laboratory examinations detected serum antibodies against the epidermal basement membrane and autoantibodies against type VII collagen. The findings supported the diagnosis of a generalized inflammatory epidermolysis bullosa acquisita with mucosal involvement.
