HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Accession:HP:0008066 term browser browse the term
Definition:The presence of one or more bullae on the skin, defined as fluid-filled blisters more than 5 mm in diameter with thin walls.
Comment:A bulla is a large vesicle described as a rounded or irregularly shaped blister containing serous or seropurulent fluid, equal to or greater than 10mm. In approaching blistering diseases, there are 3 fundamental criteria to consider: (1) the site or level of the blister (or the lowest level of vesiculation): subcorneal, midepidermis, suprabasal, subepidermal; (2) the findings that implicate the mechanism of blister formation (spongiosis, acantholysis, blistering degeneration, or epidermolysis); and (3) the type of inflammation (neutrophilic, lymphocytic, eosinophilic, mixed), if present.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: Blister;   Blistering, generalised;   Blistering, generalized;   Blisters;   Skin bullae
