Abstrakt: This article focuses on the simultaneous occurrence of herpetiform pemphigus and endemic pemphigus foliaceus (fogo selvagem, FS) in a woman. A 32 year old woman from Franco da Rocha, one of the last endemic areas of FS, developed generalized FS based on clinical, histologic and immunologic criteria. Five years later, while affected with typical lesions of FS, she developed intensly puritic erthematous urticarial edematous plaques, some of which were covered with vesicles typical of herpetiform pemphigus. Histologically these lesions showed epidermal spongiosis, with eosinophilic exocytosis and acantholysis.
