We reviewed the clinical characteristics and therapeutic response in cases of newly diagnosed bullous pemphigoid at the National Skin Centre between June 2009 and December 2010. Most (76%, n=68/90) achieved clinical remission within 6 months of commencement of therapy. Oral mucosal involvement was identified as a risk factor associated with a prolonged duration of treatment beyond 6 months.
