Method: Integrative review of the literature, using the keywords nursing care and pemphigus and the inclusion criteria: complete works with online availability, published between 2006 and 2010 in Portuguese, English and Spanish, covering the object of the study. Results: Of the 129 articles found, only four were selected, characterizing evidence levels 4 and 5. There is a predominance of authors and physicians who favored disease and drug treatment. Discussion: Nursing care is mentioned without addressing its importance in promoting comfort and the sustenance of life. Conclusion: The reality points to the need for the construction of a body of knowledge of nursing on this issue.
