What is it about?
Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune disease and many health practitioners are still unaware of it. Due to its low incidence, it is often misdiagnosed where ineffective treatments may even worsen the outcome. The differentials for PV cutaneous lesions are mistaken for pemphigus foliaceus, pemphigus vegetans, IgA pemphigus, paraneoplastic pemphigus, bullous pemphigoid, linear IgA disease, erythema multiforme, Grover disease, and Hailey-Hailey disease.
