Pemphigus foliaceus. Case presentation
Abstract
Pemphigus foliaceus is included within the bullosous diseases, considered a chronic and relatively benign variety of pemphigus, where the general state of the patient is affected very little. It is considered that it is an autoinmune disease of unknown etiology, that is characterized to show deposits of self-antibodies: Inmunoglobulins and complements in the intercellular unions. A case of pemphigus foliaceus in an adolescent of 17 years with antecedents of Bronchial Asthma is presented. The routine studies included physical examination, complementary examinations of hemochemestry, inmunology, micology and skin's biopsy.Downloads
