    GlossaryPemphigus (PV)

    rare autoimmune disorder causing skin and mucous membrane blisters

    Pemphigus is a rare autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the proteins in the skin and mucous membranes, leading to painful blisters and sores. These blisters can rupture easily, causing open wounds that are prone to infection. Treatment often involves immunosuppressive medications to reduce the immune system's activity.
