After 2 months of therapy with both intravenous and oral corticosteroids, the active lesions of bullous pemphigoid were remitted with no relapse.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Autoimmune diseases affecting the skin or organs where BP180 and BP230 are present could trigger an immune response to these antigens through an epitope-spreading phenomenon and, over the years, induce bullous pemphigoid onset. Here, COL17A1 is linked to bullous pemphigoid.
