Incidence of pemphigoid diseases in Northern Germany in 2016 – first data from the Schleswig‐Holstein Registry of Autoimmune Bullous Diseases

Abstract

This study prospectively analyses the incidence of PD in a carefully defined geographical area. The highest incidence among PD patients was found for bullous pemphigoid. The incidence of bullous pemphigoid is considerably increased compared to previous reports and reveals regional differences. Further studies are needed in order to clarify these findings.
