Article Synopsis
- Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is a mild form of pemphigus that shares treatment options with pemphigus vulgaris, commonly involving glucocorticosteroids and immunosuppressants, which can have significant side effects.
- A case study reported a 54-year-old woman with PF who was treated successfully with apremilast instead of systemic glucocorticosteroids or immunosuppressive agents, as she had previously seen no improvement with a topical steroid.
- The patient showed improvement with apremilast, maintaining treatment for 9 months without experiencing any side effects, indicating a potential alternative for patients unable or unwilling to use traditional treatments.
