Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis characterized by recurrent painful oral and genital ulcers, uveitis, and skin lesions. Pemphigus vulgaris (PV), on the other hand, is an autoimmune blistering disorder affecting the mucous membranes and skin, characterized by the presence of intraepidermal vesicles. Herein, we present a female in her 40s with a history of BD who presented to the emergency department with worsening oral and vaginal ulcers and extensive bullae of four months onset. A skin biopsy revealed an intraepidermal vesicle with preservation of the basal layer consistent with PV. A complete workup including vasculitides, connective tissue diseases, and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*51 was performed, which revealed a positive HLA-B*51. She was treated with oral corticosteroids, rituximab, dapsone, and azathioprine. After nine months, she has remained stable. Our case suggests there may be a shared pathway in the pathophysiology of BD and PV, providing valuable insights for treatment decisions.

IntroductionElectronic health (e-Health) modalities effectively address healthcare access limitations; however, there are limited data on their adoption by Hispanic/Latina women who are disproportionally affected by health disparities.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study by disseminating an anonymous electronic questionnaire via social media to assess the perception of Hispanic/Latina women of reproductive age regarding facilitators and barriers for using e-Health modalities, including telemedicine and mobile apps, to monitor gynecologic health.ResultsThe questionnaire was completed by 351 Hispanic/Latina participants with high levels (98.3%) of advanced technological expertise. Current use of a gynecologic mobile app was reported by 63.8%, primarily for menstruation (85.1%) and ovulation (46.3%) tracking. While only 17.6% of participants were offered the option of a gynecologic consultation via telemedicine, the majority (90.5%) would agree to one. Higher education and advanced technological expertise correlated with acceptance of telemedicine for gynecological consults. Being younger (<29 y/o), a student, not having a preferred gynecologist and having a lower income significantly correlated with gynecologic mobile app acceptability.ConclusionsWe showed that e-Health modalities are highly acceptable for Hispanic/Latina women of reproductive age to facilitate gynecological care and documented factors that are significantly associated with e-Health acceptability. These findings are relevant to public health emergencies that cause access to care limitations disproportionally affecting this already underserved population.
