Abstract
Autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBD) are often treated with immunosuppressive medications, including rituximab, yet the implications of these approaches during the COVID-19 pandemic are not fully understood. COVID-19 outcome studies in AIBD patients are limited by small sample sizes and interpretation complicated by advanced ages and comorbidities common in this population.Funding Information
