Abstract
The most typical kind of pemphigus is pemphigus vulgaris, an uncommon chronic skin condition characterized by blisters. Desmosomes, which are skin-related elements that maintain some skin layers bonded to one another, are the target of this type II hypersensitivity reaction, in which antibodies are produced against them. In 2022, A 44-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency department with complaints of skin lesions with burning sensation and irritation, fever and weakness of limbs. This case report highlights the treatment approach for pemphigus vulgaris during the worsened stage when immediate treatment is not initiated.
