Autoimmune bullous diseases are a heterogeneous group of rare conditions clinically characterized by the presence of blisters and/or erosions on the skin and the mucous membranes. Numerous environmental risk factors, such as solar radiation, drugs, and infections, are known. This study aimed to evaluate how seasonality can affect the trend of bullous pemphigoid and pemphigus vulgaris, especially considering the number of hospitalizations recorded over the course of individual months. Results showed a complex interplay between environmental factors such as seasons and autoimmune conditions.

Abstract
Autoimmune bullous diseases are a heterogeneous group of rare conditions clinically characterized by the presence of blisters and/or erosions on the skin and the mucous membranes. Numerous environmental risk factors, such as solar radiation, drugs, and infections, are known. This study aimed to evaluate how seasonality can affect the trend of bullous pemphigoid and pemphigus vulgaris, especially considering the number of hospitalizations recorded over the course of individual months. Results showed a complex interplay between environmental factors such as seasons and autoimmune conditions.
