Abstract:
Among 13 patients with pemphigus : 8 of pemphigus vulgaris(PV), 4 of pemphigus foliaceus(PF), l of pemphigus erythematosus(PE), we have examined the sites of early lesions and the clinical appearances of the skin lesions. The most common site of the early lesions in PV was the oral mucosa, however, in PF and PE the face was affected first. The clinical appearances of the early lesions were flaccid bullae, erythematous papules and eczematoid patches. Clinicians should be aware of these clinical features of pemphigus for a more precise diagnosis and better management.
