Article Synopsis
- Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) and bullous pemphigoid (BP) are two different autoimmune skin diseases caused by autoantibodies affecting skin adhesion proteins.
- The occurrence of both PF and BP in a single patient is uncommon, as demonstrated in the case of a 72-year-old male who exhibited symptoms of both conditions.
- Treatment for this patient included immunoglobulin, intravenous dexamethasone, oral triamcinolone, and minocycline, leading to significant improvement and emphasizing the need for precise diagnosis and effective treatment.
