Abstract
BALLESTEROS ZARATE, Zully; MANTILLA HERNANDEZ, Julio Cesar and SANABRIA NARANJO, Álvaro. A case report of Pemphigus Vulgaris. Rev. Univ. Ind. Santander. Salud [online]. 2012, vol.44, n.3, pp.49-55. ISSN 0121-0807.
Pemphigus is a blistering autoimmune skin and mucous disease, wich can involve large areas; vulgar and foliaceus types are the most common, with immunological differences between them. The pemphigus is treated with corticoids and azathioprine but in recent years new drugs were included as immunoglobulins, Rituximab (Chimeric monoclonal anti-CD20), among others. We show a case of atypical hyperpigmented pemphigus appearance and the review of issue, especially on treatment. Salud UIS 2012; 44 (3): 49-55
