AB Figure  17-1Pemphigus  vulgaris  Pemphigus  vulgaris  is  a  rare  autoimmune,  bullous  disease  that  occasionally  occurs  during  childhood.  The  disease  affects  both  the  skin  and  mucous  membranes  and  can  be  life  threatening.  The  typical  lesions  of  pemphigus  vulgaris  are  pictured  in  Fig.  17-1.  Erosions  of  the  lips,  gums,  tongue,  and  palate,  as  pictured  here,  are  a  common  presenting  symptom  and  may  be  misdiagnosed  early  in  the  course  of  the  disease.  The  difficulty  in  chewing  and  swallowing  that  may  occur  can  become  a  significant  complication.Graphic  Jump  LocationView  Full  Size||Download  Slide  (.ppt)
