Involvement of the female genital tract with PV might not be as infrequent as was previously thought; it is probably the second most common mucosal site of PV after the oral mucosa. Genital lesions may be missed and the need for thorough pelvic examination should not be overlooked.

Regarding the relatively high sensitivity of DIF on plucked hair in PV patients with positive oral mucosal DIF in our study, it seems that hair plucking is a suitable alternative to the more invasive techniques of skin or mucosal biopsy for obtaining specimens for DIF in PV.
