Clinicians may encounter a variety of skin conditions that present with vesiculobullous lesions in their everyday practice. Pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigus foliaceus, IgA pemphigus, and paraneoplastic pemphigus represent the spectrum of autoimmune bullous dermatoses of the pemphigus family. The pemphigus family of diseases is characterized by significant morbidity and mortality. Considering the risks associated with a delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis and the potential for overlap in clinical features and treatment, evaluation for suspected pemphigus disease often requires thorough clinical assessment and laboratory testing. Diagnosis is focused on individual biopsies for histopathology and direct immunofluorescence. Additional laboratory methods used for diagnosis include indirect immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Recent advancements, including anti-CD20 therapy, have improved the efficacy and reduced the morbidity of pemphigus treatment. This contribution presents updates on the pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnostic work-up, and medical management of pemphigus. Improved strategies for diagnosis and clinical assessment are reviewed, and newer treatment options are discussed.

The diseases of the pemphigus group are chronic conditions belonging to the autoimmune blistering disorders. They appear with characteristic skin and mucous membrane symptoms. Their major forms are pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigus foliaceus, and paraneoplastic pemphigus. The aim of this review is to present the diseases of the pemphigus group and to summarize the latest therapeutic options with the exception of paraneoplastic and IgA pemphigus that are discussed separately

Objectives Autoimmune bullous diseases vary in their clinico-epidemiological features and burden across populations. Data about these diseases was lacking in Sudan. We aimed to describe the epidemiological profile and to estimate the burden of autoimmune bullous diseases in Sudan. Methods This was a retrospective cross-sectional study conducted at Khartoum Dermatological and Venereal Diseases Teaching Hospital. We used routinely collected health care data, and included all patients with an autoimmune bullous disease who presented to the hospital between 2001 and 2016. Results Out of the 4736 patients who were admitted to the hospital during the study period, 923 (19.5%) had an autoimmune bullous disease. The average rate of patients at the hospital was 57.7 per year representing 1.3 per 100,000 population per year. After exclusion of patients where the final diagnosis was missing, 585 were included in the further analysis. Pemphigus vulgaris was the most common disease (50.9%), followed by bullous pemphigoid (28.2%), linear IgA disease/chronic bullous disease of childhood (8.4%), and pemphigus foliaceous (8.2%). Pemphigoid gestationis and IgA pemphigus constituted 1.4% and 1.2% of the cohort, respectively. Paraneoplastic pemphigus, mucous membrane pemphigoid, lichen planus pemphigoidis, bullous systemic lupus erythematosus, and dermatitis herpetiformis were rare. None of the patients had epidermolysis bullosa acquisita. Conclusions The clinico-epidemiological characteristics vary among the types of autoimmune bullous diseases. Females were more predominant in most of them. Sudanese patients tended in general to present at a younger age than other populations. The pool of Sudanese patients with autoimmune bullous diseases is large which requires investigation for the local risk factors and presents a field for future trials.

Analysis of various classifications of pemphigus shows that there are no fundamental differences between them. The main distinctions consist in use of diverse terms in naming of some forms of pemphigus and in inclusion or exclusion of certain subtypes from the classifications. Authors propose to use the following classification in the dermatological clinical practice, for educational and scientific purposes and for clinical guidelines: 1) pemphigus vulgaris (1.1. Pemphigu s vegetans); 2) pemphigus foliaceus (2.1. Pemphigus endemic (Fogo selvagem), 2.2. Pemphigus erythematosus (Senear Usher)); 3) herpetiform pemphigus; 4) paraneoplastic pemphigus; 5) IgA pemphigus (5.1. Subcorneal pustular dermatosis, 5.2. Intraepidermal neutrophilic dermatosis).

The modern classification of autoimmune bullous dermatoses is represented by three groups of diseases that have not only clinical, but also histomorphological, histochemical and immunogenetic similarities. Autoimmune bullous dermatoses are a group of heterogeneous diseases accompanied by the formation of blisters and erosions on the skin and/or mucous membranes under the influence of specific autoimmune complexes. The main clinical manifestations and diagnostic markers of autoimmune bullous dermatoses (ABD) belonging to the pemphigus group are considered.Objective — to analyze the prevalence of clinical forms of pemphigus in the southern region of Ukraine for the period from 2010 to 2020.Materials and methods. The observation group consisted of 88 patients aged 21 to 75 years. The features of clinical manifestations of typical and atypical forms of pemphigus have been studied, a diagnostic algorithm and criteria for the effectiveness of treatment in the early stages of the disease have been developed.Results and discussion. Pemphigus vulgaris was found in 61 (69.3 %), pemphigus vegetans — in 7 (7.9 %), pemphigus erythematosus — in 6 (6.8 %), herpetiform pemphigus — in 4 (4.5 %), IgA pemphigus — in 3 (3.4 %), paraneoplastic pemphigus — in 3 (3.4 %) patients.Conclusions. Modern clinical diagnostic features of ABD (pemphigus group) require the inclusion of immunofluorescence microscopy, direct and indirect enzyme immunoassay in laboratory screening. Not only positive clinical dynamics, but also the rate of disappearance of autoantibodies that induce the diseases (desmoglein, desmoplakin, periplakin, etc.) should be considered the criteria of the effectiveness of treatment of patients with ABD. At the same time, knowledge of the clinical features of ABD and the diseases that mimic them remains an important aspect.
