Pemphigus is a group of rare autoimmune diseases that cause blistering of the skin and mucous membranes (mouth, nose, throat, eyes, and genitals). Some forms of the disease, including the most common form, may be fatal if left untreated.eople with severe pemphigus that cannot be controlled with medicine may undergo plasmapheresis, a treatment in which the blood containing the damaging antibodies is removed and replaced with blood that is free of antibodies. Such patients are sometimes treated with intravenous (IV) immunoglobulin (Ig).
Pemphigus vulgaris usually occurs in middle-aged patients, affecting men and women in equal numbers. Rarely, cases have been reported in children. One variant, paraneoplastic pemphigus, can occur in patients who have malignant or benign tumors, most commonly non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Pemphigus vulgaris is characterized by IgG autoantibodies directed against the Ca-dependent cadherins desmoglein 1 and desmoglein 3.
