Diagnostic value of direct immunofluorescence in oral mucous membrane pemphigoid: a retrospective study

Key Points

Direct immunofluorescence is 100% specific, aiding in the diagnosis of mucous membrane pemphigoid.
C3 and IgG linear basal membrane zone deposition significantly contribute to diagnostic accuracy.
Correlations were observed linking IgM positivity with a longer disease duration in patients.
Histopathology and direct immunofluorescence together enhance understanding of disease progression.

Abstract

DIF, 100% specific, aids histopathology in MMP diagnosis, especially with C3/IgG linear BMZ deposition. Notably, IgM positivity correlates with prolonged disease duration, suggesting DIF efficiency may link to disease stage.
