Summary of key features of oral manifestations in selected diseases.

Disease Type Immune Factors Risk Factors Symptoms
MMP Autoimmune dermatoses disease Linear deposition of IgG, IgA, C3, rarely IgG
Target antigens in the basement membrane region of the epithelium: BP230, BP180, laminin 5, laminin 6, type VII collagen and β4
Age > 50 years, female sex Subepidermal bullous lesions
PV Autoimmune disease Autoantibodies react to Dsg 1 and 3 - Ulceration of the oral and esophageal mucosa, followed by skin involvement
LABD Subepidermal vesiculobullous disease Deposition of IgA rather than IgG in the basement membrane Genetic factors, medication (vancomycin) and antibiotic use (cephalosporins, penicillins) Oral lesions clinically identical to MMPs
EBA Autoimmune blistering disease IgG autoantibodies directed against type VII collagen - Blisters and blisters on the skin and erosions on the mucous membranes
HIES Multisystem disorder - STAT3 mutations Facial asymmetry, fleshy nose tip, deep-set eyes, prominent forehead, triad of eczema, recurrent skin and lung infections, high serum IgE levels, preserved primary dentition, oral mucosal and gingival lesions, oral candidiasis

IgG: immunoglobulin G; IgA: immunoglobulin A; IgE: immunoglobulin E; C3: complement component 3; MMP: mucous membrane pemphigoid; PV: pemphigus vulgaris; LABD: linear IgA bullous dermatosis; EBA: Epidermolysis Bullosa Aquisita; HIES: Hyper-IgE syndrome; STAT3: Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3.
