Summary

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a potential life-threatening autoimmune bullous disorder presenting with multiple erosions and flaccid blisters that can involve both mucous membrane and skin. The microscopic findings include intraepithelial blisters caused by acantholysis of keratinocytes as the consequence of autoantibody formation. The antibodies are mainly IgG autoantibodies mostly directed against desmoglein 1 and 3 (Dsg 1, 3), which are adhesion molecules expressed on the surface of keratinocytes.
