Abstract
Bullous Diabeticorum is a skin condition that occurs rarely in diabetic patients. It is a specific type of skin lesions characterized by non-inflammatory blisters that heals spontaneously. It is usually found in long standing diabetic patients with poor glycemic control, although the relationship between BD and blood glucose level in diabetic patients remains unclear. It frequently goes undiagnosed because it resembles other vesicobullous illnesses. Few published articles reported such cases. This case report describes a rare case of Saudi female patient presented to the clinic with a well demarcated erythematic fluid-filled lesion. Based on medical history and clinical examination diagnosis of diabetic bullae was made. We present this case to shed light on the rare occurrence of Bullous Diabeticorum in diabetic patients, to highlight the role of interprofessional team in its management and to improve the patients’ outcome.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
