Résumé

Pruritus is a common symptom of bullous pemphi-goid (BP), but has been poorly studied. The aim of this study was to analyse the characteristics of pruritus in patients with BP and its impact on their quality of life. A multicentre prospective observational study (in 15 French hospitals) was performed. A total of 60 patients were included, with a mean age of 77.4 years. Pru-ritus occurred daily in 85% of patients, with a mean pruritus intensity of 5.2/10. Tingling sensations were present in 72.4% of patients and burning sensations in 68.9%. Pruritus was exacerbated by stress, fatigue and xerosis. The mean ItchyQol score was 56.2/110 and the mean 5-D Itch Scale score was 16.5/25. The severity of pruritus was not related to age, sex, BP activity score, eosinophilia, or anti-BP230 and anti-BP180 autoantibodies. This study revealed that pruri-tus in BP is poorly tolerated and is an important cause of impaired quality of life. .
