Abstract

A 5-year-old girl had pemphigus erythematosus based on clinical and immunohistologic criteria. The rare occurrence in childhood of the pemphigus group of disorders, and of pemphigus erythematosus in particular, is discussed. We also review current knowledge concerning the delineation of the different pemphigus subsets and the treatment of pemphigus erythematosus.
