Abstract

Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is a chronic autoimmune blistering disease of the skin, characterized by autoantibodies against a structural component of the epidermal desmosome, desmoglein 1 (Dsg1). Pemphigus erythematosus (PE; syn. Senear-Usher syndrome) is a localized form of PF with lesions typically developing on the face and the upper trunk and back. Management of pemphigus foliaceus does not greatly differ from that of pemphigus vulgaris. Systemic corticosteroids represent the mainstay of therapy and are usually combined with an immunosuppressive adjuvant.
