Based on recent advances in the understanding of the immunological pathogenesis of many chronic inflammatory disorders there is increasing evidence that several of them are characterized and potentially mediated by autoimmune phenomena. Classical examples are rheumatoid arthritis, myasthenia gravis, pemphigus vulgaris, lupus erythematosus and multiple sclerosis. Others, such as psoriasis vulgaris, some less well-characterized collagen vascular disorders, vasculitides and a subtype of chronic urticaria have a more or less pronounced autoimmune background that has to be considered in the overall management of these disorders.

A significant portion of autoimmune diseases precipitate primarily or secondarily at the skin. Understanding the cutaneous symptoms may be therefore crucial for the diagnosis, classification and therapeutic management of organ-specific and systemic disorders that require special attention by the physician.

This book is set out to present the most recent scientific and clinically relevant state-of-the-art-knowledge on the broad spectrum of autoimmune disorders affecting the skin. It is meant to provide the most recent information on these disorders for clinicians as well as practicioners in dermatology, medicine, rheumatology, ENT, pediatrics, ophthalmology, orthopedics etc and for basic scientists interested in human autoimmunity.

Each book chapter dealing with a distinct cutaneous autoimmmune disorder consists of an introduction focusing on the state of knowledge regarding pathogenesis and epidemiology followed by a practical guide how to identify and handle the particular disorder(s). Special attention is paid to genuine cutaneous autoimmune disorders such as autoimmune bullous skin disorders including pemphigus, pemphigoid and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita. These disorders can be considered as paradigms of organ-specific autoimmune disorders because autoantigens and autoantibody-mediated pathogenesis are well-characterized.

Descripción

Autoimmune disorders of the skin remain an enigma for many clinicians and scientists not familiar with these mostly severe and chronic diseases. The book provides an overview and the latest information on the broad spectrum of cutaneous autoimmune disorders for clinicians, scientists and practitioners in dermatology, medicine, rheumatology, ENT, pediatrics and ophthalmology. The book is unique since it presents the state-of-the-art knowledge on pathophysiology, clinical diagnosis and management of these disorders provided by the world experts in the field. The primary intention is to broaden the understanding of the pathophysiology of cutaneous autoimmune disorders and to provide a practical guide to how to identify and handle these conditions. The book is illustrated with many tables, illustrative figures and clinical color photographs. The third edition has been thoroughly updated and extended by chapters on paraneoplastic cutaneous syndromes, atopic dermatitis and autoimmunity and Skin manifestations of rheumatic diseases.

Hundred years ago, Paul Ehrlich speculated whether an individual is able to produce toxic autoantibodies and about the implications of such antibodies for disease. The contention that an alteration of the body fluids causes disease followed the traditional teachings of Hipppocrates and Galen that disease results from dysfunction of the four humors. However, Ehrlich introduced the novel concept of antigen specificity that was based on his side chain theory of antibody formation: (1) antibodies are naturally occuring substances that serve as receptors on the cell surface; (2) the specificity of antibody for antigen is determined by a unique stereochemical configuration of atoms that permits the antibody to bind tightly and chemically to its  appropriate antigen; (3) the number of different combining sites structures available is so great that each one differs from the others, with little or no cross reactivity among them; (4) and in order to induce active antibody formation, it is only necessary that appropriate receptors be present on the cells for antigen to interact with them and so stimulate their overproduction and liberation into the blood. According to this description by Paul Ehrlich, the antibody appeared to be a polymorphous cytoplasmic agent with a unique feature – a highly organized combining site (the haptophore group) that determined its unique antigen specificity.

It was Bordet who showed that anti-erythrocyte antibodies were capable of mediating immune hemolysis giving rise to the idea that self-produced hemolytic antibodies might assist in destroying autologous erythrocytes. This and similar findings including the description of cytotoxic antibodies against a variety of other cell types prompted Ehrlich to say: “… the organism possesses certain contrivances by means of which the immunity reaction, so easily produced by all kinds of cells, is prevented from acting against the organism’s own elements and so giving rise to autotoxins…so that we might be justified in speaking of a ‘horror  autotoxicus’ of the organism. These contrivances are naturally of the highest importance for the individual” (P. Ehrlich and J. Morgenroth, Berlin. Klin. Wochenschr., 1901)
