Association Between Disease Severity and Clinical, Histopathological, and Eosinophilic Markers in Patients With Bullous Pemphigoid (BP-EPIC) (BP-EPIC)
Correlation of Disease Severity With Histopathological Features, Serum IgE Levels, Eosinophil Count, and Tissue Expression of Eosinophilic Cationic Protein and Periostin in Patients With Bullous Pemphigoid
Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease characterized by eosinophilic inflammation and variable disease severity. This retrospective observational study aims to evaluate the relationship between disease severity and histopathological features, serum IgE levels, peripheral eosinophil counts, and the expression of eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) and periostin in skin biopsy specimens of patients with bullous pemphigoid.
Immunohistochemical staining for ECP and periostin will be assessed semi-quantitatively and correlated with clinical and laboratory parameters, including BPDAI scores, eosinophil counts, serum IgE levels, hospitalization history, and disease relapse. The study seeks to identify potential tissue biomarkers associated with disease activity and severity in bullous pemphigoid.

Detailní popis
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease and is characterized by autoantibodies directed against hemidesmosomal proteins. Eosinophils and eosinophil-associated mediators are believed to play a central role in disease pathogenesis. Periostin and eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) have been implicated in eosinophilic inflammation; however, their relationship with clinical disease severity in BP remains incompletely understood.
This single-center retrospective observational study will include patients diagnosed with bullous pemphigoid at the University of Health Sciences, Istanbul Training and Research Hospital. Clinical, laboratory, and histopathological data will be collected from medical records.
The study will evaluate demographic characteristics, disease severity measured by BPDAI, serum IgE levels, peripheral eosinophil counts, hospitalization history, relapse frequency, and other clinicopathological parameters. Archived skin biopsy specimens will undergo immunohistochemical staining for periostin and ECP. Staining intensity will be assessed using semi-quantitative scoring methods and correlated with clinical and laboratory findings.
The primary objective is to determine whether periostin and ECP expression levels are associated with disease severity. Secondary objectives include evaluating correlations between tissue biomarker expression and serum IgE levels, eosinophil counts, hospitalization, and disease recurrence.
