Q

Types of Pemphigus (4)

-2 ways to GENERALLY differentiate the types (not specifics)

A

1/2. Vulgaris and Vegetans

Q

What type of ACANTHOSIS is Pemphigus?

  • primary or secondary?
  • -Example of the other type?
A

Pemphigus directly attacks the attachment btwn cells
-THUS it is PRIMARY

HSV causes ballooning of the cells and THEN they cause acanthosis
-THUS it is SECONDARY

Q

Treatment for pemphigus

  • If Skin and mouth=
  • If just mouth=
A
