Abstract:
Lisinopril is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. We report a case of pemphigus foliaceus in a 66-year-old male treated with lisinopril for hypertension and a previous myocardial infarction. The drug-induced variant of pemphigus is caused by a wide variety of drugs and is most frequently associated with captopril and penicillamine. It has not previously been reported in this commonly used drug.
