Brief Summary:
Pemphigus diseases are life-threatening chronic autoimmune blistering diseases characterized by split formation within the epidermis and surface-close epithelia accompanied by acantholysis.Autoantibodies (Abs) are mainly directed against two structural proteins of the epidermal/epithelial desmosome, desmoglein (Dsg) 1 and Dsg3.Two main pemphigus variants can be differentiated, pemphigus vulgaris (PV), and pemphigus foliaceus (PF).Diagnosis of PV and PF is based on the combination of the clinical picture,…
