Pemphigus Vulgaris in a 3-Year Old Boy

Bernard W. Berger, MD; Herbert S. Maier, MD; Irwin Kantor, MD; David E. Wexler, MD

Arch Dermatol. 1973;107(3):433-434.

Abstract
A case of pemphigus vulgaris in a child is presented that had its onset with oral erosions when the patient was 3 years old and developed a generalized bullous eruption eight years later. Diagnosis was made by typical histologic picture and positive indirect immunofluorescence. Retarded growth and cushingoid appearance were the main complications of intermittent steroid therapy.
