Abstract:
Pemphigus vulgaris is serious mucocutaneous bullous disease and is rarely reported in this country. The authors had observed a patient with pemphigus vulgaris from its early stage to the autopsy, including a total of five admissions. The patient had satisfactorily responded to low doses of prednisolone (60mg/day) initially and high doses (up to 180mg/day) later, but the patient died unexpectedly during admission. Autopsy finding revealed extensive soft tissue abscesses in both gluteofemoral regions from which Pseudomonas aeruginosa was cultured.
