Abstract

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune blistering disease of the mucous membranes and skin that commonly occurs in adults. We herein report a case of childhood PV. A 13-year-old female exhibited erosive stomatitis on the lips and tongue mucosa. A serological test with ELISA showed positive against desmoglein 3 only. The clinical phenotype was mucosal dominant, consistent with the ELISA results. The patient's symptoms responded well to topical steroid therapy. Existing reports indicate that childhood PV is very rare. In this report, the clinical characteristics of the present patient are also discussed.
