Abstract
Three patients had cicatricial pemphigoid with positive indirect immunofluorescence to basement membrane. One patient had a remarkably mild disease; another had high titers of autoantibody; the 3rd was partially responsive to sulfapyridine. All 3 patients were women, as was true in most other reported cases. Antibody titers seemed to correlate with disease activity but not with disease extent.
