AB A  77-year-old  woman  presents  to  a  local  emergency  room  after  developing  numerous  blisters  over  her  trunk  and  extremities.  She  reports  that  the  evening  prior  she  developed  an  intensely  pruritic  red  rash,  and  the  next  morning  she  was  alarmed  when  she  woke  and  noticed  large,  painful  blisters  erupting  within  the  rash.  Examination  shows  numerous  tense  bullae  with  erythematous,  indurated  borders  over  the  trunk  and  extremities.  A  dermatologist  is  called  for  consultation  and  performs  a  punch  biopsy  from  the  edge  of  one  of  the  large  blisters.  Clinical  image  and  results  of  hematoxylin  and  eosin  (H&E)  staining  are  shown  in  Figure  20-1A–C.
