RECURRENCE, SKIN LESIONS, PEMPHIGUS
A total of 31 patients with pemphigus with chronic blisters were enrolled, including 18 who were treated with intralesional corticosteroids after the presence of skin TLSs in the lesions was confirmed (NCT04509570). The time period was established by obtaining a detailed patient history. Regarding cases of recurrence, lesion duration was defined as the period after by rituximab treatment of the last recurrence. Triamcinolone (10 mg/mL) was used each month until the lesions disappeared. Numbers of treatments varied in patients, and treatment was stopped when patients refused continuation of treatment or experienced relapse. Changes in the skin lesions were calculated using ImageJ (NIH).
