Popis: | Summary.— The authors describe a case of pemphigus, confirmed histologically (acantholysis) and by immunofluorescence studies (circulating pemphigus autoantibodies in the titre of 1:1280, and in vivo bound immunoglobulins IgG, and complement in the intercellular substance of the epidermis). The symptoms developed 10 months after a burn which refused to heal and involved the site of the burn and other skin areas. The possible connection between the development of pemphigus and the burn is discussed in the light of reports of pemphigus-like antibodies in burns, which normally appear temporarily in some patients and are never bound in vivo. |
