Successful treatment of oral pemphigus vulgaris in an insulin-dependant geriatric patient.
Gerodontology 2016 December
OBJECTIVE: To present a clinical report of a patient treated with corticosteroids for oral pemphigus vulgaris (PV) lesions.
BACKGROUND: PV is the type of pemphigus that most often affects the oral mucosa and tends not to appear in elderly people.
METHODS: Two biopsies were needed for diagnosis. She was treated with oral prednisone and topically with 0.05% clobetasol propionate.
CONCLUSION: An early diagnosis and treatment is needed for a good prognosis, especially in elderly patients with multiple systemic pathology.
