Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is a rare relatively benign form of pemphigus. In New Zealand pemphigus foliaceus is more often encountered than its more serious relative pemphigus vulgaris , although worldwide pemphigus vulgaris is more common. Pemphigus foliaceus is characterised by blistering lesions on otherwise healthy-looking skin. Blisters tend to form when the skin is rubbed (Nikolsky sign). There are currently 6 subtypes: Pemphigus erythematosus Pemphigus herpetiformis Endemic PF IgA PF Paraneoplastic PF Drug-induced PF. What causes pemphigus foliaceus? Pemphigus foliaceus is an autoimmune disease, which basically means that an individual's immune systems starts reacting against his or her own tissue. The building block cells of the epidermis are called keratinocytes. These cells are cemented together at special sticky spots called desmosomes. In pemphigus foliaceus autoantibodies bind to a protein called desmoglein-1, which is found in desmosomes in the keratinocytes near the top of the epidermis. The result is the surface keratinocytes separate from each other, and are replaced by fluid: the blister. Because the blister is very close to the surface of the skin the blisters rupture easily. In most cases the autoantibodies are immunoglobulin type G (IgG) but in IgA PF the autoantibodies are type A (IgA).

Paraneoplastic conditions occur in association with malignancies (cancer). Paraneoplastic pemphigus is characterised by painful denuded areas of the mouth, lips, oesophagus and skin. It is the least common but most serious form of pemphigus, particularly considering the presence of the underlying cancer. What causes paraneoplastic pemphigus? An autoimmune disorder is a disease in which an individual's immune system starts reacting against his or her own tissue. The building block cells of the epidermis are called keratinocytes. These cells are cemented together at special sticky spots called desmosomes. In paraneoplastic pemphigus and other types of pemphigus there are autoantibodies to a component of the desmosomes. These cause the keratinocytes to separate from each other. The gap fills with fluid, causing a blister or the skin may peel off leaving raw areas. What are the signs and symptoms of paraneoplastic pemphigus?

How do I find out if there are board-certified veterinary dermatologists in my area? What is autoimmune skin disease and pemphigus foliaceus? Autoimmune skin disease is a condition in which the body's immune system targets the skin for destruction. The damage results in lesions that normally can be seen by careful examination of the skin. Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is a type of autoimmune skin disorder. With this disease, antibodies produced by the immune system combine with the action of white blood cells to damage the "glue" that holds epidermal (skin) cells together.

Affected dogs have what looks like a rash at onset that develops into blisters and then pustules. Finally, the dog is left with crusty sores on the non-furred areas of skinthe pads, nose, lips, and eye rims. Occasionally, all the skin is involved, but this is less common. Because the produce pigment-production cells in the skin may be affected also, color may disappear from involved areas. An affected dog may show signs that he doesn't feel well; he may seem tired and depressed. He may also be stiff from swollen joints. The disease shows no sex preference and is usually seen in mature dogs (over two). Diagnosis Diagnosis is made by skin biopsy. Thyroid panels should be run also because pemphigus is affected dogs often also have thyroid disease and need supplementation. Treatment Affected dogs are usually maintained on steroids with the dosage being adjusted with the severity of symptoms. If steroids alone are not effective, then other immunosuppressors can be used. Treated dogs can often live a fairly normal life, but the disease cannot be cured. Affected dogs should certainly not be bred. Return to Top DERMATOPATHOLOGY SPECIALTY SERVICE Establishing A Tissue Bank for the Future Study of Akita Skin Disease This represents a preliminary attempt to define two diseases that assumedly have a genetic basis in the Akita Breed. Although relatively uncommon, both are devastating because they affect young, adult Akitas: dogs that may already have been on the show circuit or perhaps, may even have been used for breeding. These diseases are also important to define as neither has a safe, effective therapy.

An Introduction to Basic Dermatology Pemphigus Warren Piette, M.D. Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed Two of the more important categories of large blister diseases are pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid. Pemphigus involves blistering because of separation between cells within the epidermis, while bullous pemphigoid involves separation of the full thickness of epidermis from the basement membrane. Because of the more superficial location of the epidermal separation in pemphigus, the blisters or bullae in pemphigus tend to be much more fragile than those seen in bullous pemphigoid. The lesions shown are those of pemphigus vulgaris. Next Page Title Page Virtual Hospital Home Virtual Children's Hospital Home ...

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 due to reactions to medications, although this is rare. Pemphigus may be a side effect of ACE inhibitors (such as Elanapril) or chelating agents (such as penicillamine).

Pemphigoid and pemphigus Dr Rob Hicks Pemphigoid and pemphigus are autoimmune diseases causing the skin to blister. Neither can be cured and both are very rare. On the surface they may appear similar but they are two different diseases. In this article The body attacks the skin Pemphigoid Pemphigus Treatment and support The body attacks the skin In autoimmune diseases the body perceives part of itself as being foreign and triggers an immune reaction whereby it attacks itself. In the case of pemphigoid it's the skin cells that are attacked. In the case of pemphigus it's the skin cells and often those of the mucosal membranes (the inside of the mouth, for example) that come under attack. When this happens it interferes with the normal structure and function of the cells causing the burn-like blisters that are characteristic of these two diseases to appear. Pemphigoid This is the more common but less dangerous of the two and tends to affect older people who are usually over the age of 60.

Pemphigus develops most often in middle-aged or older people. It rarely develops in children. In this disease, the immune system produces antibodies that attack specific proteins that connect the epidermal cells (the cells in the top layer of skin) to each other. When these connections are disrupted, the cells separate from the lower layers of the skin, and blisters form. A similar-appearing but less dangerous disease, bullous pemphigoid, results in shallower blisters.

California Continuing Education Credits: 4 units PIC Homepage Member Homepage Page [ Intro Treatment References Basically all of the so-called bullous diseases of the skin present oral lesions. Some will manifest in the oral mucosa prior to the skin lesions and some others only after the dermatologic manifestations have taken place. Still another group will have mostly mucous membranes involvement with only minor skin changes. Pemphigus is a severe dermatologic disease that is generally divided into pemphigus vulgaris (PV), pemphigus vegetans, pemphigus foliaceous, pemphigus erythematosus and benign familial chronic pemphigus. Some drugs with terminal sulfhydryl groups (i.e. penicillamine) can induce lesions which are clinically identical to those seen in PV. Malignant neoplasms are also capable of producing the so-called paraneoplastic PV which is similar to the classic PV.

Pemphigus is an autoimmune disorder that causes blistering and raw sores on skin and mucous membranes . As with other autoimmune disorders, it is caused when the body's defenses mistake its own tissues as foreign, and attack the cells edit Types There are three types of pemphigus which vary in severity: pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigus foliaceus, and paraneoplastic pemphigus. The most common form of the disorder is pemphigus vulgaris. It occurs when antibodies attack Desmoglein 3 , a protein that keeps cells bound together. Thus, cells simply fall apart, causing skin to slough off. Although pemphigus vulgaris may occur at any age, it is quite rare in children, and most common in the middle aged and elderly. Sores often originate in the mouth , making eating difficult and uncomfortable. Pemphigus foliaceus is the least severe of the three varieties. Desmoglein 1 , the protein that is destroyed by the body's immune system is only found in the top dry layer of the skin, so mouth sores do not occur. Pemphigus foliaceus is characterized by crusty sores that often begin on the
