Canine pemphigus vulgaris Autoimmune mediated skin diseases can be classified in two major groups, bullous processes and non-bullous ones (Carlotti 1989, Halliwell and Gorman 1989), including the first group the pemphigus complex -pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigus foliaceus, pemphigus erythematosus and pemphigus vegetans- and the bullous pemphigoid. According to Muller and others (1989) canine and feline pemphigus represented about 0.3% of the skin diseases observed at the New York State College of Veterinary Medicine being consequently uncommon in domestic animals. The present report describes a case of canine pemphigus vulgaris. Some points of the difficulty for the practitioner to get a definitive diagnosis in autoimmune skin diseases, and its possible treatment are discussed. Pododermatitis Pinna: crusts Case report The dog was a female spanish mastiff aged three years, weighing 45 kg. Her owner had observed that she was apathetic and anorectic one week ago, and that she had non-pruritic skin lesions.

What is an autoimmune disease? What is autoimmune disease? Autoimmune disease is caused by the immune system attacking the body's own organs or tissues. Autoimmune disease strikes one in every five Americans. The causes of autoimmune disease are unknown. When the immune system attacks the joints, it is called arthritis; when it attacks myelin (the insulation of the nerves) it is Multiple Sclerosis; when it attacks certain desmogleins (the “glue” that holds the skin together), it is a blistering disease called pemphigus. How the immune system works (Illustrated) HOME MEMBERS GLOSSARY CONTACT Essential information about pemphigus What you need to know Pemphigus is a rare autoimmune bullous (blistering) disorder of the skin. The four main types of pemphigus are pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigus foliaceus, paraneoplastic pemphigus and IgA pemphigus. Manifestations Large areas of the skin and, in some cases, the mucous membranes (mouth and other moist linings of the body) may be affected. Lesions require the same care and treatment as severe burns. Before the availability of modern medicines most pemphigus patients died from infection. The most common form of pemphigus is pemphigus vulgaris (vulgaris means common in Greek) which involves the mucous membranes.

related terms: pemphigus foliaceus, pemphigus erythematosus What is pemphigus? Pemphigus covers a group of uncommon disorders that occur in dogs. With these conditions, there is an abnormal immune response to normal components of the skin, resulting in separation of cells. This leads to blisters, pustules, and crusting erosions in the skin. There are some similarities to pemphigus in humans, but many significant differences as well. Breed predispositions are recognized for 2 forms - pemphigus foliaceus and the milder pemphigus erythematosus. (There are no breed predispositions recognized for the other 2 forms - p. vulgaris and p. vegetans). How is pemphigus inherited? unknown What breeds are affected by pemphigus pemphigus foliaceus: bearded collie, akita, Doberman pinscher, Newfoundland, Schipperke pemphigus erythematosus: collie, German shepherd and German shepherd crosses For many breeds and many disorders, the studies to determine the mode of inheritance or the frequency in the breed have not been carried out, or are inconclusive. We have listed breeds for which there is a consensus among those investigating in this field and among veterinary practitioners, that the condition is significant in this breed. What does pemphigus Pemphigus foliaceus and erythematosus develop around 4 years of age. P. erythematosus is thought to be a milder form of p. foliaceus. Both conditions begin with pustular, crusty lesions on the face and ears. However with p. foliaceus, the lesions spread to the feet, the groin and other areas; there may be itching and pain; and severely affected dogs may lose their appetite and become depressed.

It is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system produces antibodies against specific proteins in the skin and mucous membrane. These antibodies produce a reaction that leads to a separation of epidermal cells (acantholysis). The exact cause of the development of antibodies against the body's own tissues (autoantibodies) is unknown. Sometimes pemphigus appears in reaction to medications, although this is rare. Pemphigus may be a side effect of ACE inhibitors (such as Elanapril) or chelating agents (such as penicillamine). Pemphigus is uncommon. It occurs almost exclusively in middle-aged or older people of all races and ethnic groups. About one-half of the cases of pemphigus vulgaris begin with blisters in the mouth, followed by skin blisters. The blisters (
