초록
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is common among immunocompromised hosts; how- ever, its cutaneous manifestation is considered rare in comparison to internal organ involve- ment. Clinical manifestations of cutaneous CMV infection generally include perioral or perianal ulcerations. On the other hand, autoimmune bullous dermatosis can have bullae and ulcerations similar to those caused by cutaneous CMV infection. Autoimmune bullous dermatosis requires treatment with immunosuppressive agents for relatively long periods, which may cause reduction of immunocompetence. Because of this iatrogenic immunosup- pression, patients with autoimmune bullous dermatosis subsequently acquire increased risk for opportunistic infections. However, cases of bullous pemphigoid (BP) complicated by cutaneous CMV infection are rarely reported. Herein, we report the case of an 88-year-old male who had BP and subsequently recalcitrant perianal skin lesions, which were eventually diagnosed as cutaneous CMV infections.
Abstract

Autoimmune bullous dermatosis requires treatment with immunosuppressive agents for relatively long periods, which may cause reduction of immunocompetence. Because of this iatrogenic immunosup- pression, patients with autoimmune bullous dermatosis subsequently acquire increased risk for opportunistic infections.
