Pemphigus Vulgaris

Easily rupture bullae Bulla is clear at first but may become

hemorrhagic or even seropurulent then form erosion

Appear first in the mouth and them commonly in the groin, scalp, face, neck, axillae, or genitals

Nikolsky sign is present

Page 17: Chronic Blistering Disease Part I Rick Lin, DO MPH The TEXAS CHIEF

Nikolsky sign vs. Asboe-Hansen

Nikolsky sign: absence of cohesion in the epidermis, upper layers are easily made to slip laterally by slight pressure or rubbing.

Asboe-Hansen sign: direct pressure on intact bulla leading to bulla-spread phenomenon

Page 18: Chronic Blistering Disease Part I Rick Lin, DO MPH The TEXAS CHIEF

Pemphigus Vulgaris

Mouth lesion first appear in 60% of the case

Mucosa with painful erosion Mouth odor is offensive and penetratingly

unpleasant Esophagus may be involved and sloughing

of entire lining to form a cast (esophagitis dissecans superficialis)

Page 19: Chronic Blistering Disease Part I Rick Lin, DO MPH The TEXAS CHIEF

Pemphigus Vulgaris

Epidemiology: M=F, usually 5th and 6th decades, rare in young person

Etiology: autoimmune blistering disease mediated by intercellular antibodies

IgG throughout epidermis, C3 reliably found

Desmoglein-3 antibody detected

Page 20: Chronic Blistering Disease Part I Rick Lin, DO MPH The TEXAS CHIEF

Pemphigus Vulgaris

Drugs which induces pemphigus– Penicillamine for treatment of RA, most often

for foliaceous type– Captopril, penicillin, thiopronine, interleukin-

2, rifampin

The hallmark of pemphigus is the finding of IgG autoantibodies directed against the cell surface of keratinocytes. A Pemphigus vulgaris sera containing anti-desmoglein 3 IgG alone stain the cell surfaces in the lower epidermis. B Pemphigus vulgaris sera containing both anti-desmoglein 3 IgG and anti-desmoglein 1 IgG stain the cell surfaces throughout the epidermis. C Pemphigus foliaceus sera, which contain only anti-desmoglein 1 IgG, stain the cell surfaces throughout the epidermis, but more intensely in the

superficial layers.

Pemphigus Vulgaris

Treatment:– Topical: Silvadene, Maalox for mouth– Systemic: Prednisone 60mg to 100mg daily– Systemic: Azathioprine (Imuran), cyclophasphamide

(Cytoxin), Mexotrexate maybe used in combination– Repeat pemphigus antibody titer in 4-8 weeks after

treatment. If not improving, increase prednisone up to 150mg/day

– Solu-medrol IV pulse therapy at 1g/day over 2-3 hour period, repeat for 5 days if patient is not responding orally.

Pemphigus Vulgaris

Use of an immunosuppresant is helpful in diminishing the need for corticosteroids.

Imuran is one of the best Risk of death in pemphigus from side

effect of oral prednisone is greater than the risk of death from the disease itself

Pemphigus Vegetans

A variant of pemphigus vulgaris Characterized by flaccid bullae that become

erosions and form fungoid vegetation or papillomatous proliferations, especially in body folds

Histology finding are identicla with those of pemphigus vulgaris, but there is an increased papillary proliferations and marked epidermal hyperplasia.

Pemphigus Foliaceus

Mild, chronic variety of pemphigus characterized by flaccid bullae and generalized or localized exfoliation.

Nikolsky sign present. Oral lesions rarely seen.

Desmoglein-1 antibody. Patient with Pemphigus Foliaceus are not

severely ill.

Fogo Selvagem

AKA Brazilian Pemphigus Endemic form of pemphigus foliaceus

found in tropical regions Histologically and immunohistologically

identical to pemphigus foliaceus

Page 41: Chronic Blistering Disease Part I Rick Lin, DO MPH The TEXAS CHIEF

Pemphigus Erythematosus

Senear-Usher Syndrome Resemble lupus erythematosus Positive for lupus band in 80% of patients Histologically resemble Pemphigus

foliaceus Dosage of prednisone required for control

usually is much lower than that of Pemphigus Foliaceus

Page 42: Chronic Blistering Disease Part I Rick Lin, DO MPH The TEXAS CHIEF
Page 43: Chronic Blistering Disease Part I Rick Lin, DO MPH The TEXAS CHIEF

Paraneoplastic Pemphigus

Mucosal lesions may present as lichenoid with Stevens-Johnson-like presentation

Skin lesions may appear as erythematous macules, lichenoid lesions, erythema multiforme-like lesion, flaccid bullae, and erosion.

Immunohistopathologic reveals IgG and C3.

Page 44: Chronic Blistering Disease Part I Rick Lin, DO MPH The TEXAS CHIEF

The characteristic clinical feature is severe intractable stomatitis that extends onto the vermilion lip.

Intraepidermal Neutrophilic IgA Dermatosis

Generalized flaccid bullae, which may rapidly ruptured and crusted

Histological finding shows neutrophilic exocytosis and in some areas neutrophils arranged in a linear fashion at the dermal-epidermal junction.

Direct IF showed an intrercellular deposition of IgA with in epidermis with minimal staining of basal layer.

Page 47: Chronic Blistering Disease Part I Rick Lin, DO MPH The TEXAS CHIEF

Intraepidermal Neutrophilic IgA Dermatosis

Second subset of patients develop disease that more closely simulates subcorneal pustular dermatosis

Present much more like Sneddon-Wilkinson patient with serpiginous and annular pustules

Treatment with Dapsone is often effective at as low as 25mg per day.

Bullous Pemphigoid

Large bullae When rupture, shows large denuded area and do

not materially increase in size. Denuded areas show a tendency to heal

spontaneously Begins at a localized site, frequently the shin Young girls maybe initially seen with localized

vulvar erosion and ulcers that resemble signs of child abuse.

Page 51: Chronic Blistering Disease Part I Rick Lin, DO MPH The TEXAS CHIEF

Bullous Pemphigoid

Occurs most frequently in the elderly. Age of average onset is 65 to 75 years Etiology: circulating basement membrane zone

antibodies of the IgG class present 70%. Site of IgG binding has been localized to the

lamina lucida, with accentuation near hemidesmosome

Bullous pemphigoid antigen 1 (BPAg1) and 2 (BPAg2) identified in 90% of patients

A Direct immunofluorescence microscopy studies of perilesional skin demonstrating linear continuous deposits of IgG along the epidermal basement membrane zone (arrow). The same pattern of labeling is observed in cicatricial pemphigoid and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita. B Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy study utilizing salt-split normal human skin as a substrate. Patient's IgG autoantibodies are bound to the epidermal side (roof) of the split (arrow). The level of the artificial separation is indicated by asterisk. Cell nuclei are stained blue. The same pattern of labeling is observed in a subset of patients with cicatricial pemphigoid .

Page 69: Chronic Blistering Disease Part I Rick Lin, DO MPH The TEXAS CHIEF

Treatment

Same treatment for pemphigus, with the expectation that disease will respond readily with lower dose of corticosteroid.

In severe case, pulse therapy with methylprednisolone giving 15mg/kg in 16 ml bacteriostatic water over period of 30 to 60 minutes daily for 3 doses.

Imuran is commonly used in resistant cases

Page 70: Chronic Blistering Disease Part I Rick Lin, DO MPH The TEXAS CHIEF

Treatment

Additional treatment options include mexotrexate and mycophenolate mofetil.

Nicotinamide 500mg three times daily combined with tetracycline 500mg four times daily works 10 out of 14 patients.
