Article Synopsis
- Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a serious autoimmune disease affecting the skin and mucous membranes, often mimicking other oral diseases, making diagnosis difficult; it's rare for PV to co-occur with Crohn's disease, especially in younger patients.
- The main treatments typically involve systemic corticosteroids along with immunosuppressants, but medications like TNF-alpha inhibitors can potentially trigger other autoimmune conditions.
- A case study details a young woman with Crohn's, treated with infliximab, who developed PV, leading to subsequent oral lesions and requiring a variety of treatments including corticosteroids, antiviral medications, and methotrexate for management.*
