Risk Factors Associated With Bullous Pemphigoid in Type 2 Diabetes
Investigators sought to determine risk factors associated with the development of bullous pemphigoid.
Rituximab is Safe, Feasible for Improving Remission in Bullous Pemphigoid
Treatment with rituximab may improve remission rates, reduce the use of steroids, and be safe in patients with bullous pemphigoid.
