Pemphigus vulgaris triggered by glibenclamide and cilazapril.
A case of pemphigus triggered by glibenclamide and cilazapril is described. The suspicion of drug induction was confirmed in a laboratory study in which a pemphigus-like effect was induced by glibenclamide in cultured human skin explants. Withdrawal of the drugs and their replacement by hydrochlorothiazide and metformin resulted in subsidence of the lesions and no appearance of new lesions. The...
متن کاملPemphigus vulgaris possibly triggered by Cilazapril.
Sir, Cilazapril is a new angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) which, like other ACEIs, is a non-thiol molecule, containing an active amide group. Since the early 1990s an increasing number of case reports have been published pointing to the role of this family of drugs in inducing or triggering pemphigus (1). In 1992, the ACEI Enalapril was found to be the most powerful acantholytic d...
متن کاملPregnancy-triggered maternal pemphigus vulgaris with persistent gingival lesions.
Pregnancy as a triggering factor of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) seems to be quite a rare phenomenon. According to a recent review, only 38 reports describing 49 pregnant women with PV have been published in English language literature. A 34-year-old woman is described with pregnancy-triggered PV showing persistent gingival erosions. In addition, a shift from mucocutaneous to mucosal-dominant clinic...
متن کاملPemphigus Vulgaris and Pemphigus Foliaceus
The word “pemphigus” is derived from the Greek term "pemphix” meaning bubble or blister. Pemphigus is a group of autoimmune diseases (see Table 4) characterized by intra-epithelial blistering, resulting in superficial vesicles or bullae that easily rupture, resulting in ulceration of mucosal and/or cutaneous sites. Although rare, pemphigus causes significant morbidity and potential mortality fo...
متن کاملPemphigus Vulgaris Autoantibody Profiling by Proteomic Technique
Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a mucocutaneous blistering disease characterized by IgG autoantibodies against the stratified squamous epithelium. Current understanding of PV pathophysiology does not explain the mechanism of acantholysis in patients lacking desmoglein antibodies, which justifies a search for novel targets of pemphigus autoimmunity. We tested 264 pemphigus and 138 normal control sera...
