متن کاملTriamcinolone acetonide for rare ocular manifestations of pemphigus vulgaris: a case report
We present an interesting case of pemphigus vulgaris with severe and rare eye manifestations. An old lady with systemic and ocular manifestations of pemphigus vulgaris was treated with systemic corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, with no effect. Subconjunctival injection of triamcinolone acetate reduced the ocular signs and led to gradual reduction of the systemic medications.

The disease is extremely rare in pediatric age group. Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is the most common form seen in children, as seen in adults. Although prevalence of...
