Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) or familial benign chronic pemphigus is a dermatosis with an autosomal dominant inheritance characterized by full penetrance and variable expressivity: from individual resembling eczema lesions to extensive lesions of the skin. HHD causes mutations in the gene ATP2C1, which encodes the ATPase calcium-magnesium secretory mechanism of a human [1,2]. The mechanism by wh...

Pemfigus vulgaris (PV) adalah penyakit autoimun vesikobulosa pada kulit dan membran mukosa yang secara histologi ditandai bula intraepidermal disebabkan oleh akantolisis. Steroid sistemik merupakan terapi utama PV. Artikel ini membahas efek samping steroid parenteral pemfigus vulgaris.
 Pemphigus Vulgaris is an autoimmune blistering disease of skin and mucous membranes, histologically defi...

Pemphigus vulgaris and paraneoplastic pemphigus are 2 subtypes of pemphigus that involve the oral mucosa. These autoimmune blistering disorders have antibodies targeted against proteins of keratinocyte adhesion, thereby causing acantholysis. Clinical findings include oral erosions and flaccid cutaneous bullae and erosions. Further malignancy workup in patients with suspected paraneoplastic pemp...

These confirmatory reports have verified all the essential features of the disease that was first described. Mucosal ulceration in the form of intractable stomatitis is the most constant clinical feature of the disease. In no case to-date has this been absent. Cutaneous manifestations including blisters, lichenoid eruption or erythema multiforme like lesions are highly variable. These can chang...

Pemphigus vulgaris is a chronic, life-altering bullous autoimmune disease with production of antibodies against the desmosomal proteins Desmogleins 3 and 1 (Dsg) causing acantholysis. Ubiquitous antibody deposition but discontinuous manifestation indicate possible role cofactors. In this study, we focus on FasL as putative cofactor in PV-related To study cell-death dependent processes during PV...
