What BPDAI score defines mild vs severe pemphigoid?

BPDAI: 56 = severe. The French scoring system also uses new lesion count: <10 blisters/day (mild), ≥10 blisters/day (moderate/severe). Pruritus VAS (0–10) is scored separately. Anti-BP180 NC16A IgG levels correlate with BPDAI.

How is moderate-severe bullous pemphigoid treated?

High-potency topical corticosteroids (clobetasol 40 g/day) are superior to systemic prednisolone for moderate-severe BP. Doxycycline (200 mg/day) is an effective alternative avoiding corticosteroid toxicity in elderly patients. Rituximab and dupilumab are emerging options for refractory BP.

Pemphigoid Activity Score (BPDAI)

Apply the Bullous Pemphigoid Disease Area Index (BPDAI) scoring blisters, erosions, urticarial/erythematous lesions, and pruritus to assess disease severity and monitor treatment response.
