Understanding P/P Treatment approaches include a control phase and then a maintenance phase, with the possibility of complete remission or disease relapse (flare). Pemphigus and pemphigoid patients are normal, everyday people and can live normal, everyday lives. It takes time, treatment, and perseverance, but it is possible.

- Pemphigus is a group of rare autoimmune diseases that cause blistering of the skin and mucous membranes (mouth, nose, throat, eyes, and genitals). Some forms of the disease, including the most common form, may be fatal if left untreated.eople with severe pemphigus that cannot be controlled with medicine may undergo plasmapheresis, a treatment in which the blood containing the damaging antibodies is removed and replaced with blood that is free of antibodies. Such patients are sometimes treated with intravenous (IV) immunoglobulin (Ig).

Pemphigus Pemphigus is a general term for a group of rare autoimmune blistering skin disorders. Autoimmune disorders occur when the body's own immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. The symptoms and severity associated with the various forms of pemphigus vary.

Medication Summary Proper treatments of bullous pemphigoid depend on the severity of the disease. For localized disease, topical steroids plus the systemic anti-inflammatory (tetracycline and nicotinamide) may be sufficient. Effects of monotherapy with nicotinamide are unknown.

Overview Pemphigus is a group of rare skin disorders that cause blisters and sores on the skin or mucous membranes, such as in the mouth or on the genitals. The two main types are pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus. Pemphigus vulgaris usually starts in your mouth.

Drug-Induced Bullous Disorders Clinical Presentation Sulfur-containing drugs commonly cause drug-induced pemphigoid, with furosemide being the most common cause. Other agents commonly known to cause drug-induced pemphigoid include amoxicillin, ampicillin, phenacetin, penicillin, penicillamine, psoralen-ultraviolet-A light, and beta-blockers.

- Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is the most common autoimmune disease in dogs. It is characterized by pustules, ulcers and crusts (scabs) developing on the canine’s skin surface. Pemphigus foliaceus is an autoimmune skin disease that typically begins in middle age dogs. Pemphigus foliaceus usually starts off as small, red patches, which quickly become pustules (pus filled blisters) and burst open. Thick crusts (scabs) form after the pustules bursts.

Such patients are sometimes treated with intravenous (IV) immunoglobulin (Ig).

Background Drug-induced pemphigus is a well-established variant of pemphigus. Since the 1950s, evidence has grown that drugs may cause or exacerbate pemphigus. A drug origin should be considered in every new patient with pemphigus. The most common variant of pemphigus associated with drug exposure is pemphigus foliaceus, although pemphigus vulgaris has also been described.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of a woman’s reproductive organs -- uterus, fallopian tubes, cervix and ovaries. It usually happens when a sexually transmitted infection (STI), like chlamydia or gonorrhea, isn’t treated quickly. PID affects about 5% of women in the United States.

Pompe Disease If you or your child has Pompe disease, it's important to know that each case is different, and that doctors have treatments to help manage it. Pompe disease happens when your body can't make a protein that breaks down a complex sugar, called glycogen, for energy. Too much sugar builds up and damages your muscles and organs. Pompe disease causes muscle weakness and trouble breathing. It mostly affects the liver, heart, and muscles. You might hear Pompe disease called by other names such as GAA deficiency or type II glycogen storage disease (GSD).

Pompe disease Pompe disease, also known as glycogen storage disease type II, is an inherited disorder whose primary symptom is progressive weakness in the muscles used for mobility and breathing. In infants with Pompe disease, the heart muscles are often severely affected as well. These symptoms are caused by a mutation in an enzyme called alpha-glucosidase (also called maltase) that breaks down glycogen, a stored form of sugar used for energy.

Bullous pemphigoid Bullous pemphigoid is a blistering skin disease that tends to affect the elderly. It's caused by a problem with the immune system, but usually goes away on its own within a few years. In the meantime, blisters can be controlled with medication. About 1 in 10,000 people are affected by the condition in the UK each year.

It is also called benign mucous membrane pemphigoid or oral pemphigoid.

Pemphigus Pemphigus (/ˈpɛmfɪɡəs/ or /pɛmˈfaɪɡəs/) is a rare group of blistering autoimmune diseases that affect the skin and mucous membranes.In pemphigus, autoantibodies form against desmoglein. Desmoglein forms the glue that attaches adjacent epidermal cells via attachment points called desmosomes. The least common and most severe type of pemphigus is paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP). 2  This disorder is a complication of cancer, usually lymphoma and Castleman's disease. 3  It may precede the diagnosis of the tumor. 4  Painful sores appear on the mouth, lips, and the esophagus.
