Combined immunosuppressive therapy in patients with pemphigus vulgaris and its side effects

Abstract

Our casuistry gives a case of patients with histologically verified diagnosis of pemphigus vulgaris. In this case the stabilization of the disease was difficult and side effects of the combined immunosuppressive therapy developed very early.
