Figure 2 Skin lesions are detected as intraepidermal blisters. (A and B) The top of the blisters is composed of incomplete epidermis with scattered epidermal cells with poor keratosis. A large amount of serous fluid and low lymphocyte, neutrophil, and eosinophil levels are noted in the blisters. Additionally, a significant intracellular and intercellular edema in the lateral wall of the blisters is observed. Lastly, moderate infiltration of mixed inflammatory cells below the vesicle is observed.
