FOR DOCTORS ONLY Website Services Get Listed in MDLocator ABOUT US Healthcommunities.com Testimonials Overview Pemphigus of the skin and mucous membranes is a chronic blistering disease most commonly found in middle-aged persons. There are three major types of pemphigus: Vulgaris (literally meaning common) Foliaceus (featuring superficial blisters) Paraneoplastic (associated with some cancers) Pemphigus is an autoimmune disorder in which the skin cells are attacked by the patient's own antibodies (immune proteins). This causes a separation between the layers of skin in which fluid subsequently accumulates, producing blisters. The introduction of corticosteroids in recent decades has turned what often had been a fatal disease into one that can be managed quite well. Causes The etiology of pemphigus is largely unknown, although genetic predisposition is thought to be the cause. An endemic form of pemphigus foliaceus has been identified in certain rural areas of Brazil and may be transmitted by the bite of a black fly. In rare cases, a medication can induce an attack. Such cases almost always resolve after the offending drug is discontinued. In paraneoplastic pemphigus, the skin problem is caused by cancer. The underlying cancer usually is lymphoid (lymphoma or leukemia) in origin. Paraneoplastic pemphigus typically resolves after the cancer has been treated successfully. It also can be associated with benign lymph tumors.

PEMPHIGUS PEMPHIGUS (Gr. ir~u~tE, a bubble),a skin disease, in which large blebs appear, on a red base, containing a clear or yellowish fluid; the blebs occasion much irritation, and when they burst leave raw ulcerated surfaces. The disease is principally known in unhealthy or neglected children. A variety of the malady, pemp/zigus foliaceous, affects the whole body, and gradually proves fatal. Pemphigus of an acute septicaemic type occurs in butchers or those who handle hides, and a diplococcus has been isolated by William Bullock. The treatment is mainly constitutional, by means of good nourishment, warm baths, local sedatives and tonics. In chronic pemphigus, streptococci have been found in the blebs, and the opsonic index was low to streptococci. Improvement has been known to take place on the injection of a vaccine of streptococci.

93. Peptimmune Online - Pemphigus Vulgaris pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune disorder caused by the formation of autoantibodies The diagnosis of pemphigus vulgaris is eventually made by biopsy http://www.peptimmune.com/pemphigus.asp

Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune disorder caused by the formation of auto-antibodies to desmoglein 3, a protein found in normal healthy skin. The antibodies produce a reaction that leads to separation of the epidermal (skin) cells. Those afflicted suffer from burn-like lesions and blisters all over their body. Patients may present with painful ulcerations of the mouth that are commonly misdiagnosed as simple mouth sores. These mouth blisters eventually become widespread and may appear all over the body. The skin lesions are commonly misdiagnosed as an infectious disease - bacterial or fungal. The diagnosiseventually becomes suspect when patients fail to respond to antibiotic therapy. The diagnosis of pemphigus vulgaris is eventually made by biopsy and immunofluorescence, sometimes months after the initial symptoms occur. If left untreated, the blisters can lead to devastating infections, discomfort, and ultimately death
