📋Overview
Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a chronic autoimmune blistering disorder primarily affecting mucous membranes such as the mouth, eyes, nose, throat, and genitals. It is a subtype of pemphigoid diseases characterized by autoantibodies targeting components of the basement membrane zone, leading to subepithelial blistering. The term 'mucous membrane pemphigoid' is the modern preferred nomenclature, replacing older terms like cicatricial pemphigoid.
