Pemphigus vulgaris affecting 19 nails. Clinical and experimental dermatology, 2009, Volume: 34, Issue:2 A 60-year-old woman presented with painful erosions in the oral mucosa, pharynx, perineum and perianal area, and multiple plaques with thick adherent crusts on the scalp. Most (nine) of the patient's fingernails had alterations in colour, affecting more than half of the nail plate, and all the toenails had severe inflammation of the nail folds, haemorrhagic paronychia and subungual or intraungual haemorrhage. A diagnosis of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) was made based on histology and on direct and indirect immunofluorescence findings. Groups of acantholytic cells were also observed in a Tzanck smear obtained from a subungual lesion. Onychomadesis in most of the fingernails and in all the toenails developed gradually. The patient was hospitalized and treated with oral corticosteroids. Complete recovery without residual damage to the nails and persistent remission was achieved. Nail involvement in PV is rarely described and is always of interest, as its presentation varies widely. Topics: Anti-Bacterial Agents; Female; Fluorescent Antibody Technique, Direct; Humans; Immunoglobulin G; Middle Aged; Mouth Mucosa; Mupirocin; Nail Diseases; Pemphigus; Prednisolone; Treatment Outcome	2009
Neonatal pemphigus foliaceus. Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2003, Volume: 49, Issue:2 Suppl Ca The term "pemphigus" refers to a group of diseases that are characterized by the presence of cutaneous or mucosal blisters and erosions, and antiepidermal autoantibodies. There are several case reports of neonatal pemphigus vulgaris in the literature. Although pemphigus foliaceus antibodies have been shown to cross the placenta, to our knowledge, this is only the second reported case of neonatal pemphigus foliaceus. The proposed mechanism of disease transfer is the passive transfer of maternal IgG antibodies across the placenta. Topics: Administration, Topical; Autoantibodies; Biopsy, Needle; Cadherins; Desmoglein 1; Drug Therapy, Combination; Female; Follow-Up Studies; Humans; Hydrocortisone; Immunohistochemistry; Infant, Newborn; Maternal-Fetal Exchange; Mupirocin; Pemphigus; Pregnancy; Pregnancy Complications; Severity of Illness Index; Treatment Outcome	2003
