Extractions: The erosive gingival lesions associated with vesiculobullous diseases can be an important early clinical manifestation of serious diseases such as pemphigus vulgaris (PV). PV is a vesiculobullous disease of the skin and mucosa which tends to be chronic and which normally affects people of 40-60 years of age. Its incidence varies from 0.5 to 3.2 cases per 100,000 per year. Mucosal lesions are located mainly in the oral and pharyngeal mucosa, although conjunctiva, larynx, nasal mucosa, vulva, vagina, cervix, and ano-rectal mucosa may also be involved. It is a serious mucocutaneous disease of an autoimmune nature, whose appearance during pregnancy is extremely rare.

Pemphigus Vulgaris - Patient UK
pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a skin disease that causes blisters. It is a serious disease but can usually be controlled with treatment.
http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/23069058/

Extractions: Who gets pemphigus vulgaris? PV is rare - about 2 in 100,000 people develop it each year. Most affected people are middle aged, usually over 50. It is very rare in children. Men and women are equally affected. PV is not infectious and you cannot 'catch' it from an affected person. What causes pemphigus vulgaris? PV is an auto-immune disease. The immune system normally makes antibodies to attack bacteria, viruses. and other 'germs'. In people with auto-immune diseases, the immune system also makes antibodies against part(s) of the body. In people with PV, antibodies are made against a protein that binds the skin cells together. Chemical reactions and inflammation in the skin due to this antibody attack 'dissolves' the binding between some skin cells. This causes the cells to separate from each other. Fluid builds up between the separated cells and forms blisters. It is not known why PV and other auto-immune diseases occur. It is thought that something triggers the immune system to attack the body's own tissues. Possible triggers include viruses, infection, medicines, sunlight, or other environmental factors. There is also an inherited factor which makes some people more prone to auto-immune diseases.

Extractions: PatientPlus articles are written for doctors and so the language can be technical. However, some people find that they add depth to the articles found in the other sections of this website which are written for non-medical people. Pemphigus,derived from the Greek "Pemphix" (bubble) describes a group of autoimmune disorders in which there is blistering of the skin and/or mucosal surfaces. IgG autoantibodies are produced to transmembrane desmosomal proteins (desmogleins,principally Dsg3,but 50-60% also have antibodies to Dsg1), resulting in loss of cell-cell adhesion (acantholysis) and the production of superficial bullae in the epidermal layer which rupture easily . Three major variants of the disorder have been described:- Epidemiology. Of the 3 major variants, pemphigus vulgaris is by far the most commonly seen, although it is still considered to be rare. PV is seen more frequently in Asian populations and in Ashkenazi Jews, whereas an endemic form of pemphigus foliaceus exists in Brazil and Colombia where it is known as " fogo selvagem". There is an apparent association of PV with certain HLA class II alleles (DR6 and DR4) . Pemphigus vulgaris may occur at any age, but is most commonly seen between the ages of 30 and 70. Pemphigus appears to be triggered by environmental factors such as drugs,burns,stress,hormones and pregnancy,vaccinations, UV light,X-rays , tumours and nutritional factors.

Extractions: PEMPHIGUS VULGARIS This adult male developed extensive blisters and erosions on several sites including the scalp. There is no family history of a similar problem. There was relative sparing of the intertriginous areas. The clinical presentation and pathology are typical for pemphigus vulgaris. Immunofluorescent studies confirmed the diagnosis. Although pemphigus is thought of as an acantholytic disease, there usually is not as much acantholysis of individual cells as is seen in Hailey-Hailey disease (benign chronic familial pemphigus). The epidermis in pemphigus vulgaris tends to slough off above the basal layer in a relatively intact fashion though there are individual acantholytic cells. Follicular involvement, as is seen in this case, is a very helpful diagnostic finding. The scalp involvement is the most striking feature in this photo. The lip involvement does not show up very well. There are erosions on the neck. Most of the vesicles have ruptured. Close-up view of the scalp. It is difficult to state whether the yellow, granular areas represent secondary impetiginization or verrucoid hyperplasia of pemphigus vegetans type since such foci were not biopsied.

pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune (see below) disease that causes severe Treatment is important because pemphigus vulgaris can be serious.
http://www.bad.org.uk/public/leaflets/pemphigus.asp

Extractions: Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune (see below) disease that causes severe blistering of the skin and of the mucous membranes lining the mouth, nose, throat and genitals. The blisters have thin roofs and break easily to leave raw areas (erosions) that can be extensive and painful. Pemphigus does not go away by itself, and always needs treatment by a specialist. What causes pemphigus vulgaris? We all have an immune system. It makes the antibodies that are needed to fight off infections. Normally these antibodies do not attack our own bodies. However, in an autoimmune disease, the immune system makes a mistake and fights our own body instead. The mistake made by the immune system in pemphigus vulgaris is to view the cells in our skin and mucous membranes as foreign and to make antibodies that damage them. Pemphigus vulgaris is therefore an autoimmune disease. The antibodies that attack parts of our own body are called autoantibodies.

Pemphigus, vulgaris - lesions in the mouth Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune skin disorder characterized by blistering of the skin and mucous membrane Causes Pemphigus involves blistering of the outer (epidermal) layer of the skin and mucous membranes. 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).

http://www.csdf.org/skin/pf.htm

Extractions: affects a child for life Pemphigus is a group of rare autoimmune blistering diseases of the skin and/or mucous membranes. Our immune system produces antibodies that normally attack hostile viruses and bacteria in an effort to keep us healthy. In a person with pemphigus, however, the immune system mistakenly perceives the cells in skin and/or mucous membrane as foreign, and attacks them. Antibodies that attack one's own cells are called autoantibodies. The part of the cells that are attacked in pemphigus are proteins called desmogleins. Desmogleins form the glue that attaches adjacent skin cells, keeping the skin intact. When auto-antibodies attack desmogleins, the cells become separated from each other. The skin virtually becomes unglued. This causes burn-like lesions or blisters that do not heal. In some cases, these blisters can cover a significant area of the skin.
