Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Autoimmune Diseases

Context:

  • Pemphigus is a rare, organ-specific autoimmune bullous disease impacting skin, mucous membranes, and appendages.
  • Histopathological hallmark is acantholysis.
  • Classically divided into pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus, with variants like pemphigus vegetans and erythematosus.
  • Emerging variants include paraneoplastic pemphigus, IgA pemphigus, and pemphigus herpetiformis.

Purpose:

  • To review the epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, treatment strategies, and prognosis of pemphigus.
  • To highlight recent advancements in understanding pemphigus pathophysiology and diagnostics.

Summary:

  • Epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of pemphigus are reviewed.

  • Molecular biology advances enable precise antigen identification and refined ELISA diagnostics.
  • Systemic steroid therapy for pemphigus vulgaris and foliaceus has improved prognosis, reducing mortality to below 10% in recent decades.
  • Effective management of clinical complications further reduces pemphigus-related morbidity and mortality.

    • Impact:

    • Improved understanding of pemphigus pathophysiology and diagnostics.
    • Enhanced treatment strategies leading to better patient outcomes.
    • Reduced mortality and morbidity associated with pemphigus.
    • Foundation for future research into targeted therapies for pemphigus.
