Pemphigus is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes blisters and sores on the skin or mucous membranes, such as in the mouth or on the genitals. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the proteins in the skin that hold skin cells together12.
Treatment for pemphigus often involves corticosteroids like dexamethasone to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system12. Administering dexamethasone 18 mg in infusion along with normal saline (NS) and Ringer’s lactate (RL) is a common approach to manage severe cases, as it helps in controlling the disease and preventing new blisters from forming
