Abstract
Here we report on a 60-year-old female patient suffering from multiple erosive inflammatory lesions of the vagina for 2 years. Subepidermal blister in the histological examination, deposits of IgG and C3 in the direct immunofluorescence studies and the basement membrane zone antibody titers between 80 and 320 have confirmed the diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid. The lesions responded to treatment with prednisolone and azathioprine fairly well. There have been no signs of scarring till now.
