Pemphigus Vegetata

Vegetative pemphigus (p. vegetans)

Pemphigus is a skin disease characterized by the formation of blisters with transparent contents on its surface.

Pemphigus is caused by damage to the immune system. Viruses, bacteria, fungi, and some medications can cause the development of this disease.

Depending on the nature of the course, pemphigus can occur acutely or chronically. In addition, generalized, widespread and localized forms of the disease are distinguished.

To treat pemphigus, corticosteroid drugs, immunosuppressants, cytostatics, vitamins, and physiotherapy are used.

The prognosis for pemphigus depends on the form of the disease and its severity. With timely treatment, recovery is possible in most cases.

Pemphigus vegetans (p. vegetans, synonym Neumann's disease) is a disease characterized by the formation of blisters on the skin and mucous membranes, which may be accompanied by itching and pain.

Pemphigus is an autoimmune disease that occurs as a result of a malfunction of the immune system. In this case, antibodies are produced to the skin’s own cells, which leads to their destruction and the formation of blisters.

The main symptom of pemphigus is the formation of blisters on the surface of the skin and mucous membranes. The blisters can come in a variety of sizes and shapes, but are usually round or oval in shape and covered with a clear liquid. When the blisters rupture, ulcers can form, which can be complicated by infection.

In addition, pemphigus may cause itching and pain in the areas where the blisters form, as well as general malaise, fever and loss of appetite.

Various methods are used to diagnose pemphigus vegetans, including a blood test, a biopsy of the skin and mucous membranes, and testing the level of antibodies to the skin. Treatment for pemphigus includes antihistamines, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants. However, in some cases, surgical removal of blisters and ulcers may be necessary.

It is important to note that pemphigus vegetans is a serious disease that can lead to serious complications, such as damage to internal organs and systems. Therefore, if symptoms of pemphigus appear, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
