Abstract

Humans Male Middle Aged Paronychia - diagnosis Paronychia - immunology Pemphigoid, Benign Mucous Membrane - complications Pemphigoid, Benign Mucous Membrane - diagnosis Pemphigoid, Benign Mucous Membrane - immunology
Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is an autoimmune blistering disease that is notoriously difficult to treat. Nail involvement in MMP is rare. We report on a 58 years old man with severe MMP who presented with onychomadesis. To our knowledge, mucous membrane pemphigoid associated paronychia and onychomadesis have not been reported before. We believe it is important for dermatologists to be aware of this entity.
