About Pemphigus.

Pemphigus refers to a group of rare, chronic, life-threatening autoimmune blistering diseases that target stratified squamous epithelia, including the epidermis and mucous membranes.

It primarily affects adults and is characterized pathophysiologically by pathogenic IgG autoantibodies directed against desmogleins—principally desmoglein 1 and desmoglein 3—which are vital cell-to-cell adhesion molecules within desmosomes.

This autoimmune attack induces acantholysis, or the detachment of neighboring keratinocytes, resulting in intraepithelial clefting.

Clinically, this process manifests as fragile, flaccid bullae and extensive, painful mucosal and cutaneous erosions that leave patients susceptible to severe fluid loss and secondary systemic infections.
