Article Synopsis
  • Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is an autoimmune disease that causes blistering mainly in mucous membranes, with rare cases affecting the skin; a case study highlighted the impact of the drug etanercept on MMP-like symptoms in a 40-year-old woman.* -
  • The symptoms, including recurring desquamative gingivitis, were linked to the timing of drug treatment, with flare-ups occurring when the drug was resumed and improvement when it was stopped, supported by laboratory findings.* -
  • The case identifies a possible adverse drug reaction and discusses the significance of TNF-α in the condition's mechanism, emphasizing the complexity of autoimmune disorders, medication interactions, and external influences like viral infections like
