| He has made important contributions in autoantibody-mediated disease in pemphigus and pemphigoid. |
|
| Intact blisters tend to outnumber erosions in pemphigoid, while the reverse is true of the more superficial blisters occurring in pemphigus. |
|
| Bullous pemphigoid and pemphigus vulgaris also cause blistering skin lesions that appear in later adulthood, similar to porphyria cutanea tarda. |
|
| The involvement of mucous membranes is much less common with bullous pemphigoid than in pemphigus vulgaris, with blisters that are less easily ruptured. |
|
| Benign familial pemphigus, also called Hailey-Hailey disease, is an inherited disorder characterized by blisters on the neck, groin, and armpits. |
|
| Those with benign familial chronic pemphigus have a decreased number of desmosomes in the skin. |
|
| Unlike pemphigus vulgaris, the immunofluorescence test for antibodies is negative. |
|
| We report the case of a 45 year old female who presented a laryngeal pemphigus which evolved during several years before its cure. |
|
| Like pemphigoid, pemphigus vulgaris usually affects older patients. |
|
| For example, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and pemphigus occur more often in middle-aged people or sometimes in young adults. |
|
| In the last five years, he has beaten back both cancer of the esophagus and an autoimmune disorder called pemphigus, and he walks tentatively, using a cane, on legs that have gone weak. |
|
| Patients with paraneoplastic pemphigus may have to forgo treatment of their vesiculobullous disease until the underlying neoplasm is controlled, although supportive therapy can be instituted. |
|
| Castleman's disease is also associated with Kaposi's sarcoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, paraneoplastic pemphigus and POEMS syndrome. |
|
| The most common and most severe of these diseases is pemphigus vulgaris, in which large, flaccid blisters erupt on otherwise healthy-looking skin and mucous membranes. |
|
| Usefulness of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using recombinant desmogleins 1 and 3 for serodiagnosis of pemphigus. |
|
| The discovery of painful pharyngolaryngeal lesions, erosive or bullous, must lead to a biopsy with immunofluorescence histological examination in order to diagnose the pemphigus vulgaris and conduct quickly the treatment. |
|
| Exfoliative dermatitis, toxic epidermal necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, pemphigus, herpes zoster, erythema multiforme, urticaria, pruritus, alopecia, flushing, diaphoresis, photosensitivity. |
|
| Summary: The pemphigus vulgaris is a serious bullous disease of the adult. |
|
| But you can get it in a variety of other diseases such as sarcoidosis and pemphigus, both auto-immune diseases where the body attacks itself. |
|
| Fatal amebiasis complicating corticosteroid management of pemphigus vulgaris. |
|
|
|
| For two years both Deborah and Chris withdrew from public life while she nursed him through a rare genetic skin disease pemphigus vulgaris. |
|
| Immune mediated diseases, such as pemphigus, a rare disease of the skin and mucous membranes. |
|
| I am seeking information about my health problem, pemphigus. |
|
| This most serious form of pemphigus is paraneoplastic pemphigus. |
|
| Pemphigus vulgaris, once a lethal skin disease, is now commonly treated with systemic steroids and topical treatment for skin lesions. |
|
| Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune bullous disease of the skin that usually occurs in adults and is rare in children. |
