MedlinePlus: Pemphigus is an autoimmune disorder in which your antibodies attack healthy cells in your skin and mouth, causing blisters and sores. no one knows what causes this attack. pemphigus does not spread from person to person. it does not appear to be inherited. but some people's genes put them more at risk for pemphigus.
pemphigoid is also an autoimmune skin disease. it leads to deep blisters that do not break easily. pemphigoid is most common in older adults and may be fatal.
the treatment of pemphigus and pemphigoid is the same: one or more medicines. these may include
steroids, which reduce inflammation
drugs that suppress the immune system response
antibiotics to treat associated infections

MalaCards: Pemphigus, also known as pemphigus nos (disorder), is related to pemphigus foliaceus and pemphigus vulgaris. An important gene associated with Pemphigus is DSG3 (desmoglein 3), and among its related pathways are RAR-Gamma-RXR-Alpha Degradation and THC Differentiation Pathway. The drugs auranofin and chloroquine and the compounds cyclophosphamide and ivig have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include bone marrow, lymph node and thymus, and related mouse phenotypes are respiratory system and craniofacial. NIH Rare Diseases: Pemphigus is a group of rare autoimmune diseases that cause blistering of the skin and mucous membranes (mouth, nose, throat, eyes, and genitals). This condition can occur at any age, but often strikes people in middle or older age. It is more common in people of Middle Eastern or Jewish descent than in other races and cultures. Pemphigus is a chronic disease which is best controlled by early diagnosis and treatment. Treatment includes steroids to reduce inflammation, drugs that suppress the immune system response and antibiotics to treat associated infections. There are three main types of pemphigus: Pemphigus vulgaris Pemphigus foliaceus Paraneoplastic pemphigus30 Wikipedia: Pemphigus (44 more... |
