What is Pemphigus?
Pemphigus: This is an autoimmune disease that affects the integrity of skin, due to a blisters’ formation having been precipitated by the immune system attacking the epidermal layer of cells that are normally healthy. These blisters can happen on the skin, in the cheek, throat, tongue, lining of the stomach, or any other mucosae.
There are several types of pemphigus, including:
- Pemphigus Vulgaris: The first one is most familiar which has symptoms such as painful ulcers on the mouth and painful vesicles on the skin.
- Pemphigus Foliaceus: A relapsing and remitting variant that mainly threatens the skin.
- Paraneoplastic Pemphigus: A variant form with likelihood of cancer, which may be more dangerous.
Causes of Pemphigus
The disease pemphigus results from the formation of autoantibodies against desmogleins – the proteins which are responsible for binding cells of the skin. This leads to the formation of a space between two or more layers of the skin, and thus formation of blisters.
Common Triggers:
- Genetic predisposition
- Certain medications (e.g., penicillamine, ACE inhibitors)
- Viral infections
- Stress or trauma
Symptoms of Pemphigus
Patients with pemphigus often experience the following symptoms:
- Small, painful vesicles filled with fluid on the skin or mucous membranes.
- Crude and plan ulcerated lesions that take a long time to form scabs.
- Attacks leave one’s skin easily blistering, and when they break, they form scales which eventually turn crusty.
