Tips
  • PemphiguS has Superficial (Intra epidermal) blisters
  • PemphigoiD has Deep (Sub Epidermal) blisters
  • And among Pemphigus
o       P.Erythematosus and P.Foliaceous show intraepidermal Acantholytic Split in Stratum Granulosum (Pnemonic EFG)and
o       P.Vulgaris and P.Vegetans show Intraepidermal Acantholytic split in between the Basal layer and the Prickle cell layer
  • The Nikolsky sign is positive in pemphigus and more rarely toxic epidermal necrolysis.
  • Pemphigus Vulgaris is due to autoimmunity directed against Cadherin
  • Pemphigus Foliaceus is due to autoimmunity directed against Desmoglein and this Drug induced Pemphigus is seen after administration of Penicillamine and Captopril
·         Pemphigus Vegitans is the least common
