    Background:

    • Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune blistering disease.
    • Standard treatments include systemic steroids and immunosuppressants.

    Observation:

    • A 42-year-old woman presented with extensive pemphigus vulgaris.
    • She received high-dose systemic steroids, immunosuppressive drugs, and plasmapheresis.

    Findings:

    • The patient showed no significant improvement in disease activity.
    • Aggressive treatment led to severe immune suppression.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the challenges in treating refractory pemphigus vulgaris.
    • Further research into novel therapeutic strategies is warranted.
