متن کاملA Case of Pemphigus Vulgaris with Serum Autoantibodies Binding Blood Cell Antigen(s) on Immunofluorescence: A Case Report
Patients with pemphigus vulgaris (PV) may develop autoimmunity against an array of non-desmoglein antigens, including keratinocyte acetylcholine receptors. The latter, along with yet unknown autoantigens, could participate to PV pathogenesis. Here, we report a case of PV developing autoimmunity against peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) antigens. The patient was poorly responsive to stero...
