Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is the most common subtype of pemphigus. It predominantly affects adults, with pediatric cases being exceedingly rare. Despite advancements in clinical treatment, the mortality rate of pediatric PV (PPV) has historically been alarmingly high, ranging from 70% to 100% in the absence of proper diagnosis and treatment. Although recent improvements in therapeutic strategies have led to a gradual decline in mortality, early and appropriate intervention remains crucial, particularly for children with acute onset and rapid disease progression, to prevent severe complications. However, due to the rarity of PPV, no standardized diagnostic and treatment guidelines are currently available. This study retrospectively analyzed 104 PPV cases recorded in the PubMed and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases between 1969 and 2024, with the aim of providing insights for the standardized diagnosis and management of PPV. PPV presents with flaccid blisters affecting both cutaneous and mucosal surfaces. Upon rupture, these blisters result in painful, sharply demarcated erythematous erosions, accounting for approximately 1.4%-3.7% of all reported PV cases. The age of onset ranges from 1.5 to 18 years, with an average of 12.4 years, and no significant gender differences have been observed. In pediatric patients, the oral mucosa is typically the earliest and most frequently affected site, with an involvement rate as high as 87.3%, and it most commonly affects the buccal mucosa (27.9%). Other mucosal sites are affected in 52.9% of cases, with genital (28.8%) and perianal (6.7%) involvement being more frequent than in adult patients. Skin lesions are present in 80.4% of pediatric cases, a significantly higher rate than 16.0%-68.4% observed in adults. If lesions are relatively localized, local glucocorticoid therapy can be attempted first, with 8.3% of children achieving complete remission through local treatment alone. Systemic glucocorticoid therapy is the preferred option for cases that respond poorly to local therapy. Among these cases, 75.3% of pediatric patients were treated with prednisone, with 85.1% starting at an oral dose of 0.5-1.5 mg/kg/day, while 14.9% received an initial dose of 2 mg/kg/day. Alternative treatments, such as immunosuppressants, biologics, or other adjuvant medications, may be considered for pediatric patients who exhibit an inadequate response to glucocorticoid therapy or experience severe adverse effects. The most commonly used agents include azathioprine (24.0%), dapsone (21.7%), and rituximab (12.5%). The follow-up period for pediatric patients ranged from 1 to 120 months, with an average duration of 38 months. Prognosis in pediatric patients was more favorable compared to adults, with 43.8% achieving complete remission (cessation of treatment), 37.5% achieving partial remission (low-dose maintenance therapy), 9.6% still undergoing treatment, and only 1.1% succumbing to pneumonia or sepsis. Compared to adults, prolonged corticosteroid use in children poses a greater risk to physiological and psychological well-being, making them more susceptible to adverse effects related to growth, metabolism, and ocular health. Severe adverse reactions occurred in 22.1% of pediatric patients receiving corticosteroids, with Cushingoid facies (73.9%) and weight gain (39.1%) being the most common. In addition, 30.4% experienced growth and skeletal abnormalities, including growth retardation (17.4%), osteoporosis (8.7%), and fractures (4.3%). While PPV shares certain etiological, clinical, and histopathological characteristics with adult PV (APV), early diagnosis and timely intervention remain critical for optimal outcomes. Multidisciplinary collaboration is often necessary to ensure comprehensive management, improve treatment adherence, and safeguard the physical and psychological health of pediatric patients.

Objective To study the diagnostic value of susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in diffuse axonal injury (DAI) and investigate the relationship between SWI and clinical prognosis. MethodsTwenty patients (15 males and 5 females) with DAI were included in this study. Routine sequences (T1WI, T2WI and FLAIR) and SWI were performed on a 3.0 T MRI scanner. There were 8 cases whose Glasgow score scale (GCS) ranged from 3.0 to 5.0, 4 cases from 6.0 to 8.0 and 8 from 9.0 to 12.0. The interval time between injury and examination were from 3 hours to 20 days. The number and volume of lesions observed on SWI and routine sequence were compared using Mann-Whitney U-test and paired t-test. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the relationship between the number and volume of all lesions and GCS. Results The lesions showed punctate, beaded, patchy and cord-like hypointense signal with various size on SWI (lesion diameter <2.0 cm). Distribution of lesions was multifocal with clear boundary. Routine MRI scan found a total of 78 lesions, while SWI sequence detected 424 lesions. The number of the lesions found on SWI was more than that on conventional MRI (U=-15.447,P<0.01). The total volume of the lesions measured on routine MRI and SWI were 19 340 mm3 and 38 042 mm3, respectively. The total volume measured on SWI was more than that on routine MR (t=5.870,P<0.01). The number and volume of all lesions were negatively correlated with GCS (r=-0.802, -0.767, P<0.01). Conclusion SWI sequence could find more bleeding lesions than the routine MRI sequences. The number and the volume of the lesions were closely related to GCS. SWI showed high value in the diagnosis and prediction of the prognosis of DAI.

An 81-year-old male presented with an 8-year history of recurrent ulcer on the left dorsal foot which gradually spread to involve both lower limbs. Physical examination revealed no abnormality of any organ systems and no palpable superficial lymph nodes. Skin examination showed erythematous swelling of the left dorsal foot with an ulcer sized 7 cm × 10 cm on the surface. Tendon was visible at the base of the ulcer, and the ulcer margin was elevated giving a dyke-like appearance. The perilesional skin was purple-brown. There were several millet-like papuloid lesions circularly arranged at the inner side of the right foot as well as dark erythematous or brown nodules and pigmented patches with tenderness on both lower limbs. Histopathology of the ulcer of the left dorsal foot and papuloid lesions on the right foot revealed a visible epidermotropic infiltrate in the epidermis as well as an infiltration throughout the entire dermis with medium-sized atypical lymphoid cells with obvious mitoses. Immunohistochemical examination showed the coexpression of both T cell markers (including CD3, CD45RO, CD43) and B cell marker (CD20), with scatted positive staining for PAX-5and negative staining for CD79α or CD1 9. PCR confirmed the rearrangement of T cell receptor (TCR)-γgene. A diagnosis of peripheral T cell lymphoma unspecified was made in view of the rearrangement of TCR-γgene and above findings. The patient was treated with the following modified CHOP regimen: intravenous cyclophosphamide 0.8 g, leurocristine 2 mg and epirubicin hydrochloride 60 mg, as well as oral prednisone 15 mg twice daily for 5 days every 3 weeks (one treatment session). After 3 treatment sessions, the lesions improved markedly.
