Abstract

Autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBD) are relatively uncommon all over the world. Therefore most physicians and even dermatologists are generally unfamiliar with their diagnosis and treatment. In Spain there are very few dermatologists and dermatology clinics specialized in AIBD. This article provides an overview of the management of AIBD in Spain at the present time.
