Pemphigus. A 20-year survey of experience with 70 cases

In a 20-year survey of 70 cases of pemphigus at the Cleveland Clinic including results of treatment with corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents, attention is drawn to complications and the high mortality (45%) that is still associated with pemphigus vulgaris (57% in pemphigus foliaceus). Pemphigus erythematosus continues to be a relatively benign disease.
